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 have plenty of RAM and I run Linux on a VM. Works like a charm. You can even use open source hypervisors like UTM.
I wouldn’t bother running it on bare metal just yet.
This, I do most of my work in a Lima VM. Looking forward to replacing macos though
