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.

My son also picked Bazzite, which I hadn't heard of before. Unfortunately he didn't like it and it back to Windows again.
Any chance he's willing to try another distro? Linux Mint maybe?
I guess his son picked Bazzite for gaming. Linux Mint would not help with that since it's lagging behind in updates to drivers (Mesa, etc)
I did recommend Mint (although I use EndeavourOS myself), but he's not interested anymore.
It probably didn't help that I recently recommended him to buy Nvidia rather than AMD for a recent upgrade, because Nvidia had lower power requirements, and I don't his his PSU would have been able to handle the comparable AMD.
