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.

Who tf uses a Mac for gaming?
Those people with a Mac that want to play a game.
People said this about Linux before the steam deck and well, here we are.
There are people.
Appearently more people than Linux. I assume people who just want to be superior with status and money or just straight up hate Windows/Microsoft and don't know anything else. Or they think Apple is the solution... i really don't know.
Well, less than Linux now apparently
