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.

The random choice isn't really a joke. It doesn't matter too much which distro you pick. Any distro of the big ones will suit your needs.
There will be cases where one or the other will not fulfill your needs out of the box
The systemd question keeps the mantra alive that there is something wrong with systemd which isn't. This has to die sooner rather than later.
