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.

Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.

It works fine with my AMD GPU. Good luck with NVIDIA though.

From macOS: that the basics in UI are so much more consistent and just work. For example shortcuts across apps. This makes me insanely productive.

There was a lot more I missed when I switched, can't think of anything now. I was going to joke that I miss being 19. But eh, I'm doing better now than I was then.

USB support is bare bones. Always has been. Been feature requests in the core for decades.
