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'm using pop os (24.04 cosmic de in alpha state) and it's been my daily driver for about a month now. Generally everything works without fussing. I'm eagerly waiting cosmic beta, but to be honest I'm not sure I'm expecting anything to get "fixed" because everything is already working.
Regarding games, some things need a tiny bit of fussing (open game, unmaxamize and then remaximize screen... Just as an example) and some don't work quite yet, but I've been shocked at how many games "just work" even though they're not made for Linux.
