Linux

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 using EndeavourOS with KDE.

The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.

EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

It's true though, every thread about Windows is full of Linux users saying how you should just use Linux, and others saying they still can't because it still doesn't work properly after all this time. Then you get the Linux users saying "iT jUSt wORks", then posting shit like this demonstrating that it clearly still doesn't

If you think this is very witty and a gotcha, you're wrong. This argument doesn't work in reverse because whoever is using Linux already knows all about Windows, since, y'know, it has most of the Desktop market in its grip

This is like yelling about straight pride

If you think this is very witty and a gotcha, you're wrong. This argument doesn't work in reverse because whoever is using iOS already knows all about Android, since, y'know, it has most of the mobile market in its grip
