simply put, it’s an operating system, like Windows or macOS.

This very site is hosted on a Linux server, Humch can confirm ;)

Yeah, it’s intriguing ain’t it? :)

Here’s another one: this site is powered by the Apache HTTP server. There are others, like nginx, for example.

I've been wondering if it's worth sticking SteamOS on my old desktop computer at some point, I don't think they've yet released a general version of the SteamOS 3 that they've been using on the Steam Deck, but I know Bazzite is pretty much an unofficial equivalent to it.

There may be some games I won't be able to play, but I think the vast majority of games I play at this point tend to play reasonably well using Proton that I don't think I'd miss it much. That being said though I know some peripherals such as VR can be a bit finicky still on Linux, so might need some further thought before trying.

I’m sorry, what the fuck? My friend with a shitty MacBook that has no interest in technology at all knows what Linux is.

Why don’t you sign up as a volunteer? May still be a good exercise to have a bit of a leg stretch

I'm not exactly a tech guy or a computer guy. I don't even know how a computer even works, to be honest :oops2:

Usually I get on by the time I wake up :oops2: But I was delayed because I had watched the full Wizard of Oz movie (from 1938)

Yesterday I had watched a Nostalgia Critic episode where he reviewed the Tom & Jerry Wizard of Oz movie.

That got me curious, so I just kinda popped it on and watched it half-tired :lol:
