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.

Bill hasn't been associated with Microsoft decisions in like 15 years. Yes he still owns a shit load of the company, but he's not the CEO, he doesn't even sit on the board. He sits in his 16,000 square foot lakefront Medina, WA mansion and gets richer.

"*AHEM. You understood it wrong -- I'm talking about your sandals."

"*EHHEEM. Noooo, nononon. Just your towel."

"????"

"...your credit card just slipped away off your pockets. Do you want us to take over your phone and call the cops for you?"

I actually somewhat enjoy using Windows 10 after using a debloat tool and adding a package manager. Windows 11 is still unbearable though.

I feel like the only think I like about windows is that everything works in terms of graphics and plug and play. Plug and play has been good to me on Linux for a while though.

I still get graphics issues on fedora and Ubuntu on my integrated graphics chips.

The reason why I still use Windows is Excel, because everyone still relies on Excel formulas and macros 🙄
