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.

The difference is huge between even the beefiest CPU and a decent GPU. My RTX 3080 does 7-8 tokens per second on the models I've tried while my Ryzen 9 5950x gets 1-2.
I'm not an expert with them nor have I done any optimization or benchmarking to find the real answer but it's significant enough that I'd go for a GPU if I were building something dedicated for it
Your probably right but that involves a ton of proprietary software. CPU based systems decrease the amount of proprietary software required
