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.

2024, the most memorable year of Linux gaming so far :-)
why? i feel things are stabilizing and we are seeing incremental improvement instead of sweeping change now.
Oh no, all the projects are maturing and stabilizing? How boring, I don’t know how Linux gaming will survive
oh i didnt mean to imply this is bad, just that it isnt memorable.
The start of the environment stabilizing is memorable. People ten thousands of generations in the future will remember the exact day when Linux Gaming became stable.
Yeah, I'm team @umbrella@lemmy.ml on this one. It's important but it's not revolutionary
The Year of Memorable Linux
Nah mate, 2022 was when it started getting really good, GPL got rid of shader compilation stuttering (as well as dxvk-async related glitches), compatibility improved massively with improvements to both dxvk and vkd3d, and ray tracing finally started working
