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.

On AMD systems, 5.17.3 and 5.18rc2 have a nasty bug that freezes the system after suspension and it can’t resume without a hard reboot. Issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1976
Thank you for this information :) I just installed the update and was ready to reboot as I saw this.
