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 rationale for doing this must only be for fun. You're talking about a project that will take man years, and the price of a new vulkan capable graphics card is $300-400.

Do you think I would have any motivation to embark on such a ( admittedly Useless)project if i had that kind of money lying around to spend on a GPU.
