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.

I'm a basic bitch. Ubuntu LTS. Just works, no hassle, lots of support.
Yeah I don't have time to reinvent the the wheel anymore. Anything that has ever gone wrong has been solved on Ubuntu.
I'm equally happy to run Centos on a server.
I had to move away from good old Ubuntu as it seems to get worse and worse with every new version. I have had such odd issues with even office like programs and video, I miss the time when it just seemed to work out of the box.
