Moving to a Linux distro for dev
(lemmy.world)
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.

My driver is MacOS but I use Linux for things like servers and hobby projects, so I check these threads just to keep up on what's happening in the space. I think people often recommend Mint for people who like MacOS, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I got that wrong.
Welcome to the club. It's pretty great.
