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.

Wish it was like that for me. I duel boot Linux and I often times get to frustrated at basic things with gaming in Linux, like installing mods through vortex and Windows only mod managers in Linux I just switch to Linux and not much trouble.
Note I'm not a seasoned Linux user I know the basics but when I have to go through multiple configs and websites just to have one program work properly, it kinda just ruins it
Yeah, that's fair. Linux has been my daily driver for like... 8 years now? And I dabbled with it for some time before that. I've gotten to a point where I'm MUCH more comfortable doing things the Linux way than I am doing things the Windows way. I also have to admit I don't do much modding for my games, and the little bit that I do is often either a.) Supported/managed by the game itself, or b.) Because I still install the majority of my mods by hand rather than through a mod manager.
