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.

Nice! I've been split between mac for my every day stuff, and Linux for my gaming. Linux is great for gaming these days. I saw recently that Linux is approaching (or might be over now) 3% of the steam install. So it's getting there. I think Windows 11 requiring TPM is playing a role. People don't want to throw their shit out just because windows 11 won't support it, so they are finally getting the kick in the pants they need to switch.
also, which distro?
Not op but Bazzite is excellent.
