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 installed it on my Lenovo Legion Go, as a recommendation from Google Gemini after the fallout from Bazzite. It has gone well overall, with only a handful of issues (controllers not detected, SD card mounted as an SSD, screen not always turning on, Bluetooth headset connecting at low quality, WiFi dropping signal) that were all solved with a few minutes of querying AI and running the recommended commands in Konsole. Without AI, though, I'd have been lost.
Genuinely curious but what was the fallout from Bazzite? Wondering what I missed lol.
