        I switched my server from Ubuntu to Fedora, partly so I don’t get sold Ubuntu pro on every login lol.

        True but also don’t conflate Ubuntu with Linux

          Sure, but it also means we shouldn’t blindly recommend Linux and let users run into the arms of another Microsoft. Recommend good distributions.

            Maybe it’s wrong of us to recommend Linux, maybe we should be recommending a specific distro. Mint comes to mind.

              Yep, adding a non-Ubuntu-distribution makes it a great recommendation.

                  Sorry, I meant any distributions that aren’t Ubuntu. I don’t mind Mint, even if it’s based on Ubuntu!

              I am talking about an official Linux OS since Ubuntu is “not Linux”.

                I didn’t say Ubuntu is not Linux, I said Ubuntu is not the only Linux.

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.
