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 glad at least one of them went with Bazzite. If you had never used a Windows computer before, Bazzite "just works" for games even more seamlessly than Windows.
The problem (I was guilty of this for years) is that people who are techie enough to know about Linux are much more likely to see a "mainstream" distro and assume they would prefer something more specific.
