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.

Windows is already dead.
Just a matter of time until people realize they're on a dead platform.
You know like 70% of desktops run Windows right? That's not what I would call "dead". Almost every company out there uses Windows on their computers.
Don't get me wrong, I would love it if Windows died but there are no signs at all of that happening any time soon.
Other than me, I don't think I've ever seen a person, business, etc, in the wild running Linux.
Even business signs/billboard I've seen run Windows.
How is it dead?
They did write "Just a matter of time until people realize... " for clarity. 💀
