A computer has hardware (your hard drive, memory, screen, processor) and software (a web browser, Discord, apps, etc.). Your operating system is what manages your hardware and software, and provides a user interface for you to interact with. Microsoft Windows, IOS and Android are all types of operating systems. They allow you to run software, change your display settings, connect to the Internet and do anything else that your hardware and software allow.

Linux is an operating system, or more accurately, a collection of operating systems that are free and open source. This means that anyone can take the Linux kernel (the base of the operating system), and create their own distribution, or distro for short. There are dozens of Linux distros out there, each serving different users or different purposes. For this reason, Linux is used on a wide variety of devices. Android on smartphones and tablets, steam OS on gaming handhelds, and the software that powers most smart home appliances, these are all different types of Linux distros!

I don't think Fortnite is shit. I've never played it, but I have to assume it's popular for a reason. Frankly, I think it would be great if it did run natively on Linux. The more options people have to play the games they want, the better. As Linux gaming continues to become more mainstream, developers will continue to take note to ensure compatibility.

I was looking for my drill driver the other day and I distinctly remember myself thinking "good luck finding this future me, you asshole." It was in the back of my wife's car for some reason.

Who would have imagined that a department called "human resources" wouldn't have your best interests in mind?

God: "This little guy is called a 'wolf'. He may look cute, but don't get too close. He's got sharp teeth, he hunts in a pack, and he'll hang out on the edge of your village, steal your food and kill your livestock.

Humans: crying "I can change him!"
