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.

Maybe it could be integrated into other difficult to run 3D graphics workloads, like CAD or 3D design work?

But yeah pretty much just games tbh

I guess, but you're usually not rapidly rotating models while you're designing it. At least the workloads I'm familiar with, movements are much more deliberate and even a fixed 50 Hz laptop monitor can handle.
