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.

Bash is a shell but it's also a programming language, so between functions, aliases and scripts you can do anything you want without depending on an external program that might break, not be maintained anymore and you need to install everytime you reinstall, a machine.

I just have to restore my .bashrc and ~/bin...
