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.

More like they have an emulated BIOS mode that is still part of UEFI.

That's called CSM, and Intel removed it in late 2020. I'm not sure if AMD still has it, but they still have S3 sleep afaik. Go Team Red for your next buy, I am too.
