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.

Intel really likes making things exclusive to themselves. Especially with the threats to x86 from ARM and RISC-V, I’m worried that it’ll quickly become an Intel CPU only thing. Or worse, an Intel Xeon only thing since it’s industrial/enterprise.
