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.

probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works
very different story for windows installations though 🤮
nvidia complicates this, as always
I've honestly had a lot of luck booting a Windows SSD on different computers.
I love your comment. So reassuring. Lol. I HAVE moved SSDs before where it was only Linux, in this case I'm worried about it because it's a dualboot
