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 start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it's the package manager.

You are quite the cocky jerk for not getting software to run that complete noobs are using on their Steam Deck. I'd be more ashamed than anything in your shoes.

jerk? sure (cause i have heard that "advice just as often as things havent worked, to me its about the same as "have you tried turning it off and on again?", could i have been nicer about it? sure but at this point im so over it) but cocky? i know a dumb bitch and run of the mill advise, while good intentioned doesn’t make it helpful, granted i also havent shared more than it just not working (which is really all there is to it)
