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.

You may. You seem to not have seen the potatoes people are using. ;)
You can get a surprising amount of shit done with an Intel B580.
I am impressed by just how powerful that little GPU is for $300
300€ is already a lot people won't be willing to pay for just one part of a computer.
the msrp is $250 and it gets similar performance to an rtx 2080
