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.

Edit: here is some context because people are getting mad

the reason i asked because my friend asked me to install linux on his laptop because he wanted to look like a cringey hacker so i installed it but after i installed linux few days after he reinstalled windows(i am not sure why but he said he can't run bluestack, i suggested other VMs but he wouldn't have any other way but that's not reason i think he switched he was being dismissive) and now his mic and web cam is not working and some other stuff, so he's asking me again to reinstall linux constantly and i don't want to do that again (why? My school is far from my home around 9km/5.5 and i go there by my bicycle so after school I don't wanna waste my time installing linux)so i was just ranting didn't expect to make people mad

How does your superior system handle games with online anticheat?

Pretty good actually. I play Battlebit remastered and Apex legemds and love these games.

I have the advantage to not sign-in evertime I need to update Nvidia drivers. Don't need an account to just use Windows 11. Don't need to heavily search for the non-suspicious.exe because most things are in the repo or AUR.

None of games that I play work correctly on my machine. These are:

Hell let loose

Squad

FaceIt CSGO

Insurgency: Sandstorm

Squad kinda works, but is unplayable due to performance reasons. Insurgency is a hit or miss, others just don't work at all. Sorry mate, but Linus is not good at all for online gaming.

That very much depends on what you want to play, here's a convenient link to help determine if the game at least has linux compatible anti cheat (gets updated regularly)
