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.

Your friends laughing at you is born of ignorance.
Regardless whether you can play a game or not, you have more power at your fingertips than they will ever get to experience if they continue to use Windows.
But what good is this power if you cannot wield it?
Knowledge is power. And you could wield it if you chose to learn it.
