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.

Have you looked at the opinionated images by uBlue, i.e. Aurora, Bazzite and Bluefin? FWIW, e.g. for Bazzite, AMD's ROCM OpenCL/HIP run-times are fully supported OOTB and there's a workaround for CUDA. It does a lot of good stuff in general. Heck, I'd argue they're one of the most handsfree and easy experiences you may find on Linux.
Thanks for the recommendation! I was looking at the Fedora family since AMD officially supports RHEL 9. Hadn't gotten as far as to figure out how well that transfers to Fedora and its derivatives. Good to hear that it works.
