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 might learn other cad software eventually, but I already have 4 years experience with solidworks and will basically have to use it for college anyways so I won't get any benefit at the moment. As for gaming, I have gamed on Linux and know it works fine, it is just overall more of a hassle and needs more time than I can commit to right now, at some point I intend on fully switching over as much as I can and properly learning how to maintain Linux.
