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.

Yeah, an intel N95 puck will absolutely demolish any Pi. By the time you add a case, a drive, a stable power brick, enough memory, a cooler, you're at the same price. With a PC, you're getting an NVME drive (2 pcie3.0 lanes because Intel can't let it eat the i3 market) @ 800MB/s. With a Pi, you are living off of a microSD card running at 50MB/s (and that craters with any writing or seeking).
