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.

Does anyone use Adobe apart from schools? Yes, because the students who used it at school went to work and wanted to use it there.

Some adobe products are way ahead of the competition (patenting useful stuff) and they integrate nicely with each other. I don't use them out of principle but that's why people use them.
