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.

Steam set to launch in big picture mode is nice if you can run it on whatever you're using. I'm also looking for more apps so I hope more people reply.
the laptop im using is utter dogshit (takes like 2 mins to boot up for some reason) but maybe i can stream from my main pc?
On an SSD?
You should peek at systemd-analyze blame and banish some services
Steam link/remote play works well as long as your connection is good. Unfortunately mine is a bit spotty where my device is so I tend to lag a bit with it.
