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.

Maybe someday it'll be "You want to game on Apple hardware? Use Linux".

Well, it is already like that for x86 Macs. Once Asahi gets a solid Vulkan driver, this could also extend to the ARM Macs. Linux has been far more viable for gaming that MacOS for a while now. The lack of Vulkan and 32bit support in modern MacOS has been crippling for Wine/Proton, though it's gotten better thanks to Wine 9.0 and MoltenVK.
