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.

For anyone wondering what Proton GE is, it's Proton on steroids: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom
For instance, even if you have an old Intel integrated GPU, chances are you can still benefit from AMD's FSR just by pushing a few flags to Proton GE, even if the game doesn't officially support it, and you'll literally get a free FPS boost (tested it for fun and can confirm on an Intel UHD Graphics 620).
We all just bask in the brilliance of a glorious eggroll.
