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.

it is strange you got downvoted because certain important games and tools does not work on Linux such as game pass or Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is an important game? XD
It used to be a couple of years ago.
I buy and play games, I don’t pay for a subscription where a massive corporation gets the bulk of the money while the developers get squat.
Destiny is not an important game. It’s one game as a service designed to be as grindy as possible.
I’ll be fine with Linux.
GamePass is a service for mildly entertaining games (around 7/10 score). The better ones leave the service Netflix style all the time and for the games I've checked DLC was not included, so purchasing needed.
Destiny 2 fell down to mixed reception in recent months according to Steam. Most Sony PC games launch Steam Deck verified these days. Same for many other games. Since SteamOS is a Linux distribution, compatibility extends to other mainstream distributions.
Gamepass Cloud works. What won't work is Gamepass PC, because Microsoft doesn't care, and wraps it up in an unmodifiable container.
I probably said "Windows" once too often (= once).
You're in the wrong sub. OP didn't ask which Windows should I install.
No you got downvoted for bad info.
