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.

Just FYI, you could also switch to Windows 10 IoT LTSC for longer support (2029 IG)
Can you please elaborate for me? ELI5
Microsoft also releases another edition of Windows under Long Term Support Channel (LTSC) for enterprises.
You can grab the genuine ISO (non-eval) variant and then activate it using MAS or something. The thing about this edition of Windows is that it comes with less bloatware apps, updates are available for longer period and more.
Every 3 years, they refresh the ISO file. So this year, you can expect a W11 LTSC. But W10 LTSC will remain supported till 2029 or something.
