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.

You could take a look at one of the universal blue distros next time you want to try some linux https://universal-blue.org/

I use bazzite on my gaming pc and bluefin on my laptop. It is immutable linux, but the devs made the defaults really nice (for me at least)

I can vouch for Bazzite. It's at the point where you don't really have to do any tinkering. The only thing I really had to configure some extra beyond the defaults was pipewire, allowing different sample rates for my USB audio DAC.
