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 depends a lot. If you are never using MSOffice for anything other than the most basic writing Libreoffice does cut it. Linux overall does just work for the most part if the person using it just plans on using the browser anyway. Everything else is spot on tho.
And funny thing about the gaming performance bit, I'm no expert and this is anecdotal, but my games actually run better on Linux than Windows by default. Dunno why
Does it tho? It can even render a simple, unformatted bullet list consistently:
With this I agree 100%.
Doesn't look like a important difference to me, rich text documents are meant to be adaptive. If you want it to look the same everywhere, export to a pdf.
What a bullshit, try to share a document with someone and then we'll talk about adaptive documents.
