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.

Can't wait to have containers for containers.
I legitimately think that people in the community are stupid enough to see value in something like that.
Wait til you find out how Steam works
I've been trying to wean myself off Steam for awhile now.
I just use it for games I already own on it and games that require Steam, like TF2.
That's great and all, but Steam still solved their issues of having a stable gaming platform on a bunch of distros by nesting virtualization and runtimes
