The third position is won by by Simplifying the Crazy World of Linux Distros @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, ; you have won $750!
