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.

All the thumbnail needs is some big red arrows.

Plus a wider mouth and perhaps a hand grasping some hair. It doesn't convey enough SURPRISING RESULTS about using this NICHE OPERATING SYSTEM.

i thought the sloptuber title was funny tbh. 5-10 fps over windows isnt exactly like, mind numbing, but its cool to see the tests

But RAM on windows is 15GB vs 9.1GB on Bazzite, the difference is massive! That's only Cyberpunk, I didn't finish the video.

Windows is full of crap, especially Windows 11

It's funny if you know that it is parody, but it's so widespead in this day and ago so I tend to unconsciously filter it out. Tbh I probably wouldn't have clicked the link if I hadn't seen your comment, since I thought this was the original title of the video

its what it was originally but youtube has a way for vids to swap out less attractive titles automatically for alternate titles
