The third position is won by Simplifying the Crazy World of Linux Distros by @oliveremeka

“While I think some of the others are good - as a newbie in tech, you may never really understand why there are so many Linux distros. You'll be faced with choosing between different Linux flavors when trying to setup servers/cloud infrastructure on platforms like AWS.

The first time you do this, you may select the default but you'll always wonder why there are so many Linux distros. I think it was important to read this to see how far the Linux ecosystem has come and the changes that have happened within it.” - HackerNoon Editor

Congratulations,@oliveremeka; you have won $750! Enjoy :)

We will contact all the winners shortly. Keep an eye on contests.hackernoon.com for running and upcoming contests.

Keep calm, and love Linux!
