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.

I have been using bazzite for over a year after starting with ubuntu, and then doing a "I'm doing everything myself" arch install (I learned SO MUCH).
I love it. I got a little frustrated about some of the package installation restrictions, but then I read about distrobox, and now I have an arch box, a ubuntu box, and an ollama box running a local LLM. No more problems with finding CLI programs. I even used the arch box to run adb and fastboot to flash android stuff, it worked flawlessly.
And of course gaming and standard desktop tasks work with zero problems. Next I'm going to convert my wife's Windows 10 PC to bazzite, and setup excel and some proprietary software for her.
