Most know Linux as either free and unsupported, or costly
and supported as a high-end version.

Now envisioned a Linux that is free and supported.

Linux for Human Beings - Ubuntu

"Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others".

Ubuntu also means "I am what I am because of who we all are".

The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available
with both community and professional support.

ok,
The above is my copy & paste from an article,
but I have zero experience of the Linus landscape and don't know
if the above "community and professional support" angle is true,
or a half truth.

(from the article)
The fact that there are [hundreds] versions of Linux shows just how
many groups want to launch their own distributions...
But the fact that few people are familiar with distributions other than
Red Hat, Suse and Debian is a testament to how hard it is to be successful.
