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've seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

I don’t know what distros are available, but the big project everyone is talking about when talking about Linux on apple silicon is Asahi Linux

I have tried that but it has quite some missing thingsmaking it hard to use it as a daily driver. I may be wrong tho

Definitely. It is still in alpha, so nowhere near a stable release. I believe that in the next year or so most of the things will get ironed out
