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 actually love that design, it's minimal without being corpo-slick. Is it just a mockup or is there some way to make all my computers look that way?
Well, this kind of design language is actually referred to as "neobrutalism", so you might find a theme under this name. But from what I've seen so far, it's mostly a thing in web design at this point...
