From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TuxedoOS
It's just so nice with my tuxedo laptop and made me love Plasma.
Same here. I used Fedora with gnome before, but this summer I bought a Tuxedo laptop and saw that they maintain their own distro. And as I have been happy with fedora and gnome for way too long, it was time for a switch.
Same here. Have been a Mint user for more than 10 years and switched recently with the new laptop. I like it a lot, really stable system.
