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.

"AMD CPU use among people who run Linux, only play custom maps on CS:GO, refuse to buy anything on pistol round, still haven't learned how to use GIMP properly, and work as a low level IT slave, approaching 90%."
I mean, we do realize a large percentage of "Linux Gamers" are running steam decks, right? And AMD has been the best choice for Linux users for a while. 70% in that context is kinda sad.
