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.

Oh I guess, I meant to say is it good for general purpose use alongside gaming.
Yes it is, I personally daily drive it and it's great 🙌

Yeah, of course it is. I use it too for 3D-modeling, image editing and more.
For general purpose, it's pretty normal. Its' main advantages really only shine in gaming stuff.
But, to be fair, I don't know if the tweaks optimised for gaming don't negatively affect other stuff. I didn't notice anything yet, but you can't be sure.
