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.

That is cool, thanks for describing your setup. I currently have a single 1440p monitor and love having more real estate than a single 1080p screen, but have often longed for a second screen, even a 1080p screen in portrait mode perhaps, idk.
So your computer desk is in your living room and you just move the chair out of the way when you want to watch TV from the couch?
Dope. What game are we looking at in that photo?
Far Cry 5, running in 1080p on a 2160p desktop (alt-tabbing doesn't switch resolutions, so jumping back and forth is seamless)
