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.

All of the customers I've dealt with professionally who use Windows generally start with pre-configured VMware or similar images that they then deploy, and then configure with RDP. I have literally, in over 20 years of professional work, never seen a Windows sysadmin ever use SSH.
In fact, when they are forced to use a Linux server most of them will set up VNC to get into it rather than use SSH. WHY?????
Gotta love Windows: Files aren't files, dates aren't dates, logs aren't logs.
Which is strange to me because using a GUI is so much less efficient than a CLI. Which makes me think Windows' CLI is not nearly as good as even bash.
Also, if you're wondering these are the only complete instructions for setting up SSH login with key pairs without using RDP that I could find on the entire Internet.
