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 lived to see this day. 🤯
What exactly does this mean for everyday Linux usage?
That when there's load on the system, fewer tasks will get slower, but also fewer things would complete overall in a given time frame. For example you should get fewer stutters in CS2 if a background task loads the system while you're trying to nail someone with a scout. So long as CS2 has higher priority.
