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.

Been using it on an M2 Pro for more than a year now and it works great, love it! Always looking forward to new updates, contrary to macos updates where i was dreading them haha
Same here! I actually don't touch the mac part, which I need occasionally for one piece of software (QLab). I call it the Dark Side, and it always complain about available updates indeed.
On the Bright Side I've got it all, even some "evil" ones like Teamviewer which I need to manage remote windows machines at work. It runs smooth, boots quick, and Gnome gestures on the excellent trackpad are a delight. Excellent screen, good batteries (not as long lasting alas but still a Day's Work' good).
