 # Background garbage collection
 
-In background garbage collection (GC), ephemeral generations (0 and 1) are collected as needed while the collection of generation 2 is in progress. Background garbage collection is performed on one or more dedicated threads, depending on whether it's background or server GC, and applies only to generation 2 collections.
+In background garbage collection (GC), ephemeral generations (0 and 1) are collected as needed while the collection of generation 2 is in progress. Background garbage collection is performed on one or more dedicated threads, depending on whether it's workstation or server GC, and applies only to generation 2 collections.
 
 Background garbage collection is enabled by default. It can be enabled or disabled with the [gcConcurrent](../../framework/configure-apps/file-schema/runtime/gcconcurrent-element.md) configuration setting in .NET Framework apps or the [System.GC.Concurrent](../../core/run-time-config/garbage-collector.md#background-gc) setting in .NET Core and .NET 5 and later apps.
