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.

as another comment said, it’s probably the steam deck contributing to the amd numbers. i don’t think intel is any worse compared to amd on the cpu side of things.
Intel's Linux support has always been pretty good. IIRC they even do open source video drivers, it's just that nobody cared about drivers for their IGPs and they didn't have real video cards until recently.
Right, good to have that confirmed by others 👍
I am generally supportive of the “underdog”, so at least for now I am choosing AMD parts (disclaimer: subject to change - or at least continuous reconsideration)
