Linux

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.

Hi, I would like to ask if openSuse Tumbleweed is a good option for daily driving ang gaming. I'm not new to Linux and have tried Linux Mint and Ubuntu. I can also troubleshoot problems on my own if anything comes up. The graphics card I have is Nvidia if its any relevant.

Tumbleweed is rolling release so just make sure you snapshot your system once before an update and once after just Incase something goes wrong

Opensuse already does this by default.

Opensuse is a amazing roller release as it is rock solid and stable.

I have used linux in the server era for around 8 years noe. On the desktop for about 5. I did use arch before i settled on opensuse.
