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.

Mint is the most similar environment for Windows to more easily transfer over and get used to?
Mint kernel version appears rather old - does it support the latest AMD GPUs out of the box?
Yeah, I think that's the thought process. And I'm not sure regarding the kernel version, but imo that's the most important thing to stay relatively up to date on.
