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've recently got my PC up and running again but today it's rebooted randomly twice. What could this be a sign of? All advice is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is a strong indicator that your PC crashed because of a hardware problem. Use prime95 with the small settings to test CPU stability (minimum 1h). Use memtest86 (the free version) or prime95 with large/memory settings to test your Ram. It could also be your PSU failing/shutting off or shutoff caused by overheating.
