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.

So why does my system mount my drives to /run/user/1000…?
1000 might by your user's user-id
1000 is the default ID given to the first-created user on Debian-based systems.
May or may not be the case with other distros. Haven't checked.
It's the same for red hat distros afaik
AFAIR IDs of 1000 and above indicate human users, while IDs below 1000 indicate service accounts like www-data
