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.

This is old news and long-since resolved by RPM Fusion and/or flatpaks.

In fact you can but this didn't solve the problem. I installed all drivers possible but nothing fixed the high CPU usage when I opened some apps like calculator and Super Tux Kart for example. I have a Intel Nuc 12 gen and with arch is all working flawlessly

I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience. Four of my Intel/AMD workstations are running Fedora Silverblue and Kiniote and I've thankfully never experienced the same. Either way, I'm glad you've found some success with Arch. It's still my go-to for the command line and all container work.
