Also there are various specific cryptos that are easier or harder to mine. I believe monero is quite easy and bitcoin is more difficult, for example. I swear I'm not a cryptobro, I'm just a computer nerd who has been asked to explain it so many times that I have an okay understanding. Plus I had a CS teacher who was super into crypto and did a few lectures on it. You are generally correct, though. Also apologies for incoherence. My brain is not braining so well today.

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.
