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.

Points for something I've never tried.

Edit: Think I'll just blast Bazzite on it. The recent Gnome scales well and it has nice performance tweaks.
Cheers

I got openSUSE Leap. It's stable and reliable. My complaint is that I needed to go thru all the hoops to get all the media codecs I need to play what I want.

Glad you like it, not sure it's a fit for my lazy living room machine though.

Honestly, I picked it because I was lazy. It's such a low maintainance machine. As for the codec, the flatpak version of VLC does it.
