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.

I'm just so sick of Microsoft and Google. But there's two things holding me back:

  1. I wanna play Steam games on my PC

  2. I am just an amateur hobbyist, not a tech wizard

Is there any hope for me?

It may be baffling to you but honestly I’ve had no issues and you clearly know more about the subject than I do. I just wasn’t aware of any of what you mentioned, though I certainly am not calling it into question.

As somebody who is pretty good with computers but is by no means a coder/programmer/engineer of any sort, I’ve just been very happy with bazzite 🤷‍♂️

I have not seen those problems, but I’ve also only been on it for a couple of months. I will keep an eye out for that and keep cachyOS in mind.
