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.

  • Self updating without user interaction per default.
  • Better support of codecs and drivers.

Self updating without user interaction per default

This is very easy to solve, just put the update command in crontab (crontab.guru makes picking times easier), or use a tool like dnf-automatic, unattended-upgrades etc

See, that paragraph alone is too much for the majority of non-Linux users.
