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.

The great irony is, when I ran Windows native on those Intel Macbooks, I was getting better battery and performance than with macOS.
Not sure why your comment was downvoted, you're actually correct, Windows is got better battery life. The only reason I'm not running it on this MacBook is an unpatched bug in the Intel HD Graphics driver that prevents it from working with newer Windows versions on MacBooks with this specific display adapter.
