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 imagine it runs much more nicely than UTM SE on iOS. I was never able to get UTM JIT to work.

Honestly, I want to jump ship from Apple, but I'm not in a position to do so at this time.

A locked down ecosystem is not exactly good for hacking. Apple aggressively blocks outside software

Precisely. Spoken like a true 25% Vulcan.
