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 follow the git instructions linked in another thread, make sure to slowly move through major version numbers. You most likely will not be able to jump straight to 25 and will need to step through major versions to figure out what changed and how to fix it.
Once you can make sure newer packages will work with the nonstandard gpu you’ll have some chance of doing htpc stuff.
