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.

No one should feel pain of installing Windows, no one deserves that

I do it almost weekly for my job. I need to improve my Unix skills and become a Linux sysadmin

You can totally automate the Windows install process and configuration. Not even Windows sysadmins should have to be dealing with it manually.

We still use golden images, so whenever we refresh that I need to install windows on a VM. We still do our servers manually
