This thread is discussion about an operating system called GNU/Linux with various distributions:
"Linux (/ˈlɪnəks/ (About this soundlisten) LIN-əks)[9][10] is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel,[11] an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.[12][13][14] Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution."
...
"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.[15][16]"

I've been toying with GNU/Linux based OSes since around 2000, then settled on Ubuntu as have been for a long while now. I consider myself to be still at between beginner and intermediate user.
I want to continue learning more about GNU/Linux and maybe somehow improve and contribute to the GNU/Linux OS to make it better for everyone to use it, but a bit unsure how to proceed hence this thread.
A brief introduction from Linux wiki:
