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.

The fact that I can install anything from any distro in their container setup. It makes things really easy to use with wonky stuff that, say, only works with Ubuntu.
I know you can do the same with other tools, but that’s just how their OS works in the first place.
Interesting. Any experience with gaming?
I didn’t try, but I did see that you can install Steam, so I’d assume everything would work fine. I saw you said you have AMD graphics, so drivers wouldn’t be a problem.
Awesome, thanks :)
