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.

If you're using a Pi I don't see why you'd want to avoid learning Linux. Setting up and connecting to SSH servers is an essential skill for anybody doing anything on Linux that isn't purely desktop use.
While I generally agree that they should, I disagree that they should have to.
SSH and then some sort of VPN for remote terminal access isn't too bad.
It has been a decade or more since I tried setting up VNC, but I never could figure out how to connect to an existing X session. Has that setup gotten better?
Found the Zombie-bot rights supporter!
Hehe.
Won't this new service help avoid that for users who haven't figured out how to safely expose a system to the Internet?
There is no such "help". Either you learn what is going on and how to monitor or you are simply another easy target.
