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.

He's happy with it so I'm happy for him!
Interesting point, however, is that the only major issues he had were with OBS and him macro keypad, and everything else worked for him. That is a very good thing imo. It's a testament to how far Linux has come. Now we just need to ensure all the Wayland work gets completely done across all desktops and then it's a matter of time before even stable and "conservative" systems like Debian and Mint get it all supported, at which point Linux will be ready for all, and we can move our focus to Mobile Linux and whatever else the next new big and shiny thing is on the desktop (Personally, I think the only issues after these would be making sure accessibility is all well and good, getting GNOME to finally support VR, and that's about it. I can't think of anything else).
I think there should be some work to do with Flatpak as well, but nothing major since it's mostly there.
