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.

It's not something I would trust my mother to be able to setup but if you are a regular Linux user then it shouldn't be too hard for you.
And it's a one-time setup. Once it's working, it'll keep working, unless wondering drastically changes with iommub groups or something (i.e. check before doing major BIOS updates).
If it isn't that it means it isn't decent software :D
