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.

Are people using it also as desktop or server OS? I only know that it is popular for docket images.
I personally use it as a desktop.
I don't understand, isn't what makes it a desktop or a server what you want to do with it? Because it has just enough apps and utilities for me to work with it.
Yes, it is. I have only never seen it to be used for something else then docker images so far.
