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 know the "best linux for gaming" is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

Yeah, I’ve tried, and it doesn’t help

You didn't try hard enough. Windows 10 Enterprise with that app + manual tweaks in group policy described by Microsoft can be turned into a system that does zero reporting / calling home and one that runs very smoothly. For what's worth you'll spend less time changing those settings than what the time it takes to have a usable desktop experience under Linux with a few games working.

they are going to stop supporting Win10 sooner than later

Current EOL for Windows 10 Enterprise is 14 Oct 2025 and there's a petition going on to extend it.

Do you work for microsoft or something???

Of course I do, soon to be instated as CTO at Microsoft.
