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 PXE boot my desktop.
Well that is unusual these days. You PXE boot the entire OS and mount some type of network share or you use it more in a terminal sense to logon to a more powerful machine?
It's a bit of a weird setup, and not at all practical. I build "golden images" with archiso, the image gets sent over, then local disks are auto-mounted. The local disks have my ~/home, so all my configs, flatpaks, games, etc. stay consistent.
I use PXE for my servers, so I figured "why not?". I don't do too much on it besides videogames, I do most real stuff on laptops. This "setup" probably isn't going to stay around forever.
