A number of elements of this template need further explanation:

Family - This is the operating system family, examples include Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Unix-like. Linux is not a family, but rather a kernel. All Linux distributions are part of the Unix-like family.

Source model - This field is deprecated since it duplicates the license field.

Kernel type - For Linux distros, this should be [[Linux kernel|Linux]]. It should not be the name of a distro.
