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.

If you don't have to deal with kids it's hard to explain how dominant Fortnite is. The problem with Fortnite here is that it's essentially crack for kids, and when I hear people saying "they should make Fortnite work in Linux" I hear "drug dealers should sell their goods in nice places". It's not in the pusher's interest to make their pay-per-hit product usable in any way that empowers the addict.
tbf they announced they would be bringing it to linux. hell is chilly cold autumn day atm.
At least there will be less Roblox - Fortnite is the lesser evil 😅
To be honest, my view of Fortnite is kids buying expensive skins. In Roblox, I’ve seen people creating games and kids are less pushed towards spending money.
I’ve seen my son waste a lot of his allowance in Fortnite and almost none in Roblox.
But, to be honest, while I’ve watched him play, I never played myself..
