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.

Been running Bazzite as my gaming / daily driver since the Win10/11 fiasco. Don't think I'll go back. Sure, I've run into a few small problems, but overall it just works better and more smoothly than Windows. Hell, my controllers work flawlessly on Bazzite while on Win they still struggle to work with certain games consistently.

Bazzite forever!
