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.

That's not your question, but I'm running Kinoite (which is basically Silverblue with KDE) on a 2015 MacBook with 8GB RAM and it runs perfectly smooth.
That being said, I can't personally recommend immutable Distros (at least Fedora's approach to it as I haven't tested others) to everyone. I think it fits to people who are fine with mainly using what flatpak has to offer and don't want to tinker with their system too much, or people on the other side of the spectrum who are fine with exploring toolbox / distrobox.
