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.

is this the ratings on winehq? I could see the count of apps exploding on that page but ordinary users aren't going to visit there to know they can even contribute that sort of qualitative stat
Yes it is the ratings on winehq, https://appdb.winehq.org/
And yes, an average user probably going to fire a game, figure out it is not working, and promptly go back to windows, which makes that data less accurate, but what can we do about it?
