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.

Gits motto should be “fuck around and find out”
More like "don't fuck around but find out anyway".
"Fuck around, have no idea HOW you fucked around, fuck around some more trying to fix it, find out how badly you've collectively fucked around"
That's what the reflog is for!
More like “don’t fuck around (but of course the answer is some subset of
git checkout(which is probably Turing-fucking-complete)), and find out anyway”.
