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.

+1 for CachyOS, I’ve been running it for a few months now and it’s my new favourite. I’ve run Mint, Ubuntu, and Bazzite but none of them felt right to me. Cachy has been great since day one. I mostly use it for gaming but also like to do non-gaming tasks too and it handles it all very well and very quick and smooth.
