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.

Maybe designed to be used with googles Stadia (now defunct I think)?
Stadia has been abandoned for long enough I don't think it'd be used in marketing.
This was the description:
Acer - Chromebook 516 GE Cloud Gaming Laptop - 16" 2560x1600 120Hz - Intel Core i5-1240P - 8GB RAM - 256GB SSD
Looks like it comes with 3 months of GeForce Now and Amazon Luna.
I was mistaken about the GeForce iGPU - that placard must've been for GeForce Now. It has an Iris Xe.
I think I saw Xbox Game pass in the marketing too.
Still, pretty cool idea.
I think they're also working on getting Steam running. I don't remember how that's going, though.
