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.

Is Fedora "bad" for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don't game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora
One of the best gaming distros (Nobara) is fedora based.
It's not bad but there are simply better distros if you want a seamless gaming experience. Nvidia drivers are a big reason in my case. Pop works with Nvidia right out of the box (assuming you download the Nvidia iso) and Nobara has some great gaming tweaks so no, Fedora is not bad for gaming. It's simply not the best if you're really serious about gaming.
@jameskirk @tkk13909 I like nobara but it’s slightly harder to install than pop
