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.

Dude that feature is one of the very few things I miss from windows! Glad to see we're getting it now!

Which feature exactly do you mean?

If you move your curser to the corner of a screen in Windows, it will stop at the corner instead of moving to the next screen. It makes it easier to click on, for example, the close button.
