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.

iTunes is probably the biggest, people with iDevices have a harder time with GNU/Linux

I had to think about this quite a bit, there's hardly anything I miss. But the nvidia control panel has more options on windows. There are probably more options available using the cli, though. Generally I'm really happy since I switched a year ago.

Man, I just want Foundry VTT to work on my second monitor, it used to work but all the distros that moved over to Wayland DEs exclusively mean that I can't use the thing I want and have the laptop do it's one job of displaying foundry on my table TV. I guess what I really want is for Nvidia so put out better Wayland drivers.

Isn't Foundry just a website? What's stopping you from putting a browser window on your second monitor?

Wifi + bluetooth connectivity simultaneous. It's my own fault, though, as the machine I run is an iMac 5k from late 2014...
