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.

Next time try bazzite. It mostly just works out of the box and the only tools you really need extra are lutris and protonup-qt which are both guis and can be downloaded from the package store. You don't really ever have to touch the terminal in bazzite. It comes out of the box with wine and stream and proton already configured and it has the best performing driver installed by default for your device.
