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.

Summary from Gemini

According to the video, the creator,をしている人 (をしているひと - hito oshiteiru hito, a person who does [something]), The Linux Experiment, conducted a survey to identify the problems people are facing on Linux. Most of the respondents (39%) consider themselves knowledgeable about Linux (39% said they knew their way around Linux and 10% said that Linux had no secrets for them), while only 10% described themselves as beginners.

Here are the top 3 problems people face on Linux according to the survey:

Integrating Linux systems with other devices (36% of people picked this as a paino)

Using existing Hardware (28% of people picked this as a problem)

Installing software and apps (20% of beginners said it was a problem when the average for the survey is 10%)

The creator expressed surprise about some of the findings, including:

People having trouble with GPUs (34% of people said they had trouble with their GPU)

People having trouble with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (17% each)

People having trouble with application crashes (25% picked application crashes as a big enough issue that they had to select it)

The creator also mentioned that people seem to have a positive experience using Linux overall. 56% said they have a few issues but that they don't impact their trust in their OS and 71% of people who answered also said their experience with Linux was very good better than other operating systems.
