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.

Anyone got a list instead of a video?
Glad I'm not alone... I can glance an article in 30 seconds, so I fail to see how video is a better format for this.
For udemy teachings, yes, video is great. But it's way overused for everything.
Nice to hear this 🙂 I love reading. Almost never watch videos, and I usually prefer listening to music audio only.
