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 game with friends online, so I've always had windows on a second drive. Compatibility has gotten so good though that it's actually kinda rare that I even need to boot windows anymore. It's better than ever to be a gamer on Linux.
Unless you want to play games with anticheat (thanks Riot) (:
