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.

Fedora or Pop!_OS? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I use a Windows and Arch dualboot, but I’m looking to escape Microsoft. I’ve heard good things about both Fedora and Pop!_OS. I’m your average Arch user; I play video games and code. Are Windows VMs suitable for games like Call of Duty on such distros ?

Same here. Used to run Arch and got really into tinkering with the kernel and wm configs. I'm also incredibly lazy and I just want things to work. I switched to pop_os and haven't really looked back (well...sort of... there's a voice in the back of my head screaming at me to switch to Endeavour, but I've been ignoring it for now)
