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.

anyone have experience with bazzite and mint, with a focus toward gaming? The box i want to try on, i have been procrastinating hooking up and dealing with the contents (it was my dad's work computer and i'm the only family member with professional ethical requirements relating to confidentiality so it went to me)

Bazzite didn't work for me out of the box (I wanted to see if it being 'gaming focused' had any positives), and what tinkering I could do didn't fix the steam gaming. I went back to an arch-based distro and haven't had any problems.

I use mint for gaming and general use and I havent had issues. However I dont really play AAA+ games, mostly older games.
