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.

I don't quite understand the point of these speedruns since there's usually not a defined end target and there are so many variables which are not under the user/installer's control, like disk, processing speed

Isn't the purpose getting views on youtube?

Doesn't really matter as long as people watch, I guess. Or maybe it's purposefully that way to draw engagement
