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.

Unfortunately I tend to like games that are still among the damn 10%, like battlefield 6.
My philosophy is, if it doesn't run on Linux then I should be spending that time touching grass.
I'm afraid that philosophy doesn't quite work when you are part of a friend group that's playing together and you are the only one who even considers using Linux. I actually do play a lot of games on my dual boot Linux install but since we are currently playing a lot of battlefield I usually start Windows instead
Ah, the network effect. The god damn network effect.
