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.

Handheld edition? Is that like steam deck support?

Very nice. Will be sticking with bazzite for now but cool to have more options

My favorite part of linux news is that you get a headline like this and to 99.5% of the population it sounds like word salad but at the same time there's at least 15 dudes who are going to be totally stoked by this.

The cachy kernel is surprisingly good. I used it for a few weeks and it was surprisingly noticeable in the games I play.

Which variant of it, if I may?
