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.

A ton of stuff we take for granted will have to be recompiled and you can forget even trying to use Proton to play x86/x64 Windows games without some weird flaky hacks and actual virtualization, since it's only a translation layer.
okay? so stop making progress because some games might not work? doesn't sound reasonable.
I'm not saying that. I'm saying there's a lot of work to do ahead.
ah, well that's a reasonable take. cool profile pic btw!

We said the same about ARM a while back
You say that, but people already got Stardew Valley to work on RISCV Linux!
Note that it is a link to Reddit. The post is made by the Box64 developer though, that's why I linked it.
