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 have used Linux for a bit but my hardware plays nicest with windows, I still play with the WSL from the terminal every now and then but tbh using Linux on my main laptop is more trouble than its worth sometimes.
I think it's perfect on the desktop side tho because all the parts are standard and there's no weird proprietary shit unless you got an Nvidia GPU
Laptops have improved compared to a decade ago, but they are definitely still lagging behind like you said.
