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.

fine by me if they can imitate windows, sans all the ads, dark patterns, and shitty business model.
windows is actually a halfway decent os underneath all the enshittification crud.

To me it's enshitification because they grabbed Linux and KDE and added all the unethical spyware on top of it, EDGE browser comes to mind...which last I checked shares you data with 927 advertising companies.. Maybe it's a higher number now..

even that I would argue is enshitified due to all the spying stuff they put into it.. Microsoft is real life E Corp
you know windows 8?
like that
Like Windows.
Ensh*ttification = Capitalism. Every point, every annoyance, every spy attack, all lock-ins, and so on, is a result of that archaic sponsored belief system..
