What you need to know at this point in your learning process is simply that _around_ the Linux "kernel" there are different flavours of the "shell" part, hence different "distributions", in the jargon, of Linux-based operating systems.

You may have heard of #Debian, #Ubuntu, #OpenSUSE, #Slackware, #Arch, #Mint, #Hyperbola, #Gentoo, #Fedora, #Devuan, ...

... anyway. These were ground-up clones started in the 1990s and later.

#Unix #LinuxDistributions

@msw @fedora For those who have at least once worked voluntarily to a free system #Distribution / #Distro that either follows the #GNU FSDG (like those that provide some part of #GNU, such as #Dragora, #Dyne:bolic, #GuixSystem / #GuixSD, #Hyperbola, #Parabola, #PureOS, #Trisquel, #UtutoS, #LibreCMC, #ProteanOS, or those which don't, such as #Replicant) or to a #Distro that is almost there (I'm waiting your reply, #Debian) per-language managers complicated things.
