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 got an all amd msi laptop with ryzen 7 5800h and rx6700m a few month ago, and it's been great. Wayland compatibility was ridiculously good compared to the nvidia 3060 desktop I had previously, not to mention no fear of a completely black screen on update. If I had to complain about something it would be no real cuda support, and I still cannot get my llm working with rocm.
