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.

Proton is amazing! Most of the games I want to play are as good l, or better on Linux.
💯 I use Linux as my daily driver and don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. It's come such a long way! Still not perfect but it's really incredible
since I quit playing multiplayer games due to toxicity there is really nothing I miss from windows
