<h2>Why did I make this?</h2>
<p>One day, my classmate in school saw my fancy Linux install on my laptop, and asked how I got it. After explaining to him what Linux was, he immediately wanted it, but got stuck in deciding which distro, out of the current thousand's, would he use. This got an idea in my head to create this website, making it easier for beginners as well as advanced users to have an easy method to use Linux. Just like all the distros curated in this website, the code for my website as well as the projects it uses are open source too! Click the button below to see the Git repo of my code.</p>

<h4 class="card-title">GNU</h4>
<p class="card-text">Everyone talks about Linux, but in reality all distros are GNU/Linux, as Linux is only the kernel, and GNU has worked very hard, to make the open source licenses we all use today (which my code, and the other projects I used are also licensed in) as well as all the utilities used in common place Linux distros, such as the gcc compiler, and so many other nifty programs and utilities. They are the main force behind Free Software</p>

<p class="card-text">On the other hand, everyone credits Free Software, forgetting about the Open Source initiative. While more lenient on the political aspect compared to Free Software, has driven Open Source programs to popularity in the recent years. Many projects I used are Open Source, thanks to this great non-profit initiative!</p>
