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.

I've encountered issues swapping a Windows install between machines equipped with an Intel processor to one equipped with a current AMD processor.

In the meantime, my KDE Neon install has been swapped between four different PC's now without a single issue.

Same, I've always had issues with swaps on Windows. Never a single one on Linux -- plus no chasing a license/activation.
