Scientific Linux is a Linux release put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters. The base SL distribution is basically Enterprise Linux, recompiled from source. Their main goal for the base distribution are to have everything compatible with Enterprise, with only a few minor additions or changes.
Fermilab, CERN, DESY, and ETH Zurich all produced Linux distributions under the Scientific Linux operating system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the basis for the operating system. The free and open-source software is also free.
Choosing Linux as your alternative to Windows 10 is probably the best option for those who are tired of Windows 10. To install applications and convert to a new operating system, read this guide.
