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.

I'd advise against using docker from docker.com's repo on Ubuntu unless you need to. Ubuntu LTS includes a fairly recent docker package starting with 22.04. By using that you eliminate the chance for breakage due to a defective or incompatible docker update. You also get the security support for it that comes with Ubuntu. The package is docker.io.
