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.

Heres a great one:
How Windows is so awful with its (anonymous) telemetry, its advertising (that can be turned off in two clicks). All the malware (that you only ever find in dodgy places, with UAC and updates turned off) and its terrible hardware support (as Linux users wait patiently for their WiFi drivers). But don't worry, you can use a virtual machine... to pass through hardware to Windows.
My favorite part is:
(anonymous) telemetry
Sure buddyyyyyyy
You can even run your favorite Linux shell as your Windows shell - literally with WSL2.
...otherwise windows is unusuable
Are you fascinated when someone using linux writes something positive about Windows? no? because it NEVER happens.
I wonder why :D
Get away from Microsoft? Nope - Proton can never do that, these games still use and depend on DirectX, and if Microsoft wanted to be dicks, they could shut down Proton in a day. Just as they considered with Wine itself years ago, which they still could.
Google vs Oracle?!
Multiple German states failed to upend Windows Os
Umh what? Munich (a single city, not a state) used linux for some time (allegedly) pretty successfully, they switched back to windows because of corruption and microsoft moving their german headquarters to munich.
No way the commentors arent paid shills, literally no fucking way. Or maybe Bill's cum is that tasty. Am baffled
Stockholm syndrome maybe?
