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.

I’m confused on the use of GitHub in schools, can’t they just host their own git?
Hah hahaha hahahahaha
Our school systems are admined by teachers with only half a clue of what they are doing with only a few hours per week as a budget. This isn't meant as an offense, math teachers that like to fiddle with computers in their free time are just not qualified to run the infrastructure for schools
