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.

Except can't trust corporate clowns to keep shit working... Once they they obtain market share, they start doing weird things, recent example win11 where they make it less useable just because fuck plebs.
Yeah it everyone has a different line of what's too far. Just like reddit, many knew things were getting bad but didn't actually leave until recently. No doubt Microsoft will eventually piss me off enough to switch but for now I barely use my pc as is so it's not worth the hassle.
