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.

It made a huge difference in windows thats for sure. From the windows splash screen to applications becoming responsive took for fucking ever on a HDD. I'd imagine on linux it'd be much faster on a HDD, but I switched after ssds became the norm.
Linux is much better on hdd, windows upgrading to ssd was absolutely seismic, especially for games.
Linux you notice, but once the applications are running you don't notice it too much till you REALLY run low on memory, or keep opening new docs or something.
The swappy bois are coming
