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.

A lot of people have pretty old desktop computers and can't upgrade. They start using linux instead of windows to get better performance
Hopefully they at least have ssd and 8gb ram.
From my experience it is mostly windows vista/7 era hardware that gets the linux treatment usually.
