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'm doing my part.

I set up bazzite in a VM and passed my GPU thru it.

Now I've got a nuc clone in my office with bazzite on it as well and it's just a moonlight client. But it's silent. Or damn close. The GPU is two floors away, I hear nothing!

That was two separate downloads, too...Nvidia-gnone and gnome-standard.

I was on Nobara a couple months ago and liked it...but a colleague piqued my interest on immutable distros and now here I am.
