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 agree. On a new machine I've been using I tried Ubuntu and then Zorin, but Bazzite just works better. Could be the Fedora base that's helping a lot, idk. But switching that machine over when I'm not lazy.
It's the first distro I've tried where everything just works right out of the box and nothing is overly bloated. All of the software I use was available from the Bazzar and my printer even worked right away. No fiddling with CUPS or trying to install from binary/tar/appimg/etc.
Agreed
Would you run it on the specs: i5, 8 - 16gb ram, intel integrated Graphics
