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 use it to develop Typescript, PHP and C#, works very well. For all of that I use JetBrains IDEs. Every part of this was installed from the official nix repository, no 3rd party anything needed.
For gaming I use Steam and Heroic Games Launcher, Steam natively from nix repository, Heroic from flatpak (though I plan on migrating it to native version as well).
