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.

I’m not surprised that laptop had issues. It’s purpose built and likely has sub 1% usage across the windows install worldwide.

Now try MacOS, better than windows in my opinion but still feels like you can't do things you can with Linux

only read the title. either your title is fucking stupid or fucking dumb.

Windows controls over 60% of the end user PC market share. so you had to be paid to be a normal fucking user? it's nearly equivalent to setting up a GoFundMe for a bullshit cause

I wish you were charged for writing this article
