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 got average monthly ratings for games on Wine AppDB, and seems like something happened in 2016. (lemmy.world)

I took each rating for games on Wine Application Database, mapped them to numbers (Garbage -> 1, Bronze -> 2, Silver -> 3, Gold -> 4, Platinum -> 5) and plotted a monthly average.

LoL, for me Linux is a daily driver and I have not used windows/macOS for private stuff since a long time. I’m neither a sys admin nor a software dev.

I've used both for 10 years. So I'm in a better position to compare both. I'm a software dev and hobby sys admin.

You can not see through eyes that are not yours. How TF would you be in a better position to judge how non dev can handle Linux?!
