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.

Game ad notification on Windows... (lemmy.world)

Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

Never had anything like that on either my personal (two of them) or work W11 installs, nor on my girlfriend's personal or work installs, so I don't know where the complains about adverts come from, I've never seen them 🤷

I've never seen these.
(but my windows install is clean and debloated to my needs so... yeah not very fair)
