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 surprised Aurora is so low on the list. I've been loving it on my Dev laptop. Huuuuge improvement over Ubuntu. It feels so much snappier, ironically.
Do you know whats the difference between aurora and bazzite? Its from the same team and looks a bit similiar so I am a bit confused about it
Supposedly its focused on the Dev experience rather than the gamer experience but I also do development on Bazzite without issue. So I guess the real answer is "not much"
There's a flavor of bazzite made for developing now, Bazzite-dx
Thanks, I am using bazzite right now maybe I'll try aurora next time I need a linux install
