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.

Switched the laptop to Linux Mint about 6 months ago. After a month of no problems with that, bit the bullet and installed it on my main Gaming PC. I don't play anything that needs anti cheat and everything else has worked fine. Got VR streaming wireless to the Meta Quest 3 working and Sunshine/Moonlight setup to the Steam Deck for couch gaming.
I am a nerd though and have been using Linux from a server perspective for years. I still don't know if it's ready to suggest it to someone that is less technical, but it's certainly getting there.
