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.

This type of questions seems too obvious and really childish, there's no way you don't know why people use windows despite it being trash. Either you're dumb or you're asking this questions for attention.
Yeah, I think there needs to be a push for less of these circle jerk posts. It seem more appropriate for a meme community than something that I at least assume is meant to be about more focused discussion about Linux than a Windows fixation.
other than pre-installed i don't know and the reason i asked because my friend asked me to install linux on his laptop but after i installed linux few days after he reinstalled windows and now his mic and web cam not working and some other stuff, so he's asking me again to reinstall linux
