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.

Nice explanation, I honestly want to try to build one now. I've actually done something very similar in Minetest but I'm pretty sure that doesn't count.
Bro! Download Ignition, it's free, do all of the free courses, get the certification (also free I think), put it on your resume/CV and get yourself a job in automation! It's in demand.
IMO It's cool as hell to control machines as big as a room with a click of a button on an interface you built with your own two hands, lemme tell ya.
