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 already made something like this. A complete lucid guide for Linux/Windows computing. It covers everything and I barely have things to update in it.

As a physiotherapist, I liked this part especially: "Take computer breaks every hour, and rotate your eyes and shoulders." :)
This is me since childhood/teenage years, without ever being told these things. I had to tell people what is feasible and essential.
