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.

Online games just working.

I know, I'm probably off better without Chinese and Korean rootkits installed, but Infinity Nikki looks so darn comfy to play.

Oh, and HDR and 144Hz. Both in X-Server as well as in Wayland, over a good DP, I can select 199.98Hz at best. Never managed to fix it. Same computer, monitor and cable used to do 144Hz just fine on Windows, before.
HDR is really gone, though, but I don't miss that as much.

In my previous comment, I forgot to add the ability to easily clone one installation from one computer to another.

I’ve used Clonezilla on Linux but with mixed results.

Bug-free Skyrim. That's the only thing in the last decade I miss.

Tax software solutions with my state included. I can't use the EZ online file options.
