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.

Intel runs just fine on Linux, but because AMD gives so much support and lip service to open source, and because Intel is the big bad market leader, there's a lot of "intel bad, amd good" in the open source community.
My original comment was trying to point out that "Linux Gamers" are an incredibly niche category filled with die hard linux fans with strong opinions and steam deck users. And frankly I'm surprised Intel has ANY marketshare with that crowd.
