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.

Bit of misinformation on this thread, but generally the only thing that can actually get in the way of someone dedicated enough will be compatibility and security systems.
You probably won't have any luck getting nvidia drivers on android for example, nor take the time to back port those drivers to an outdated kernel.
I suppose you could also have an OS that takes most your system resources for non-gaming tasks, making games unplayable. Something like nixos is non-gaming centric and could reasonably be more optimised than bazzite, less background processes making games actually run better on it.
