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.

This. My current connection is the most speed I've ever had and the most you can get in my area without spending a ton on business class, but cloud gaming is atrocious at best. I'm not gonna move to the city so I can get gigabit for a half decent price while spending 4 or 5 times more on housing.
