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.

Microsoft Propaganda has indoctrinated young children into believing that pressing control alt delete to restart their failed operating system is a normal part of the human experience. This article discusses the clear speed and economic benefits of switching to Linux: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/linux-has-speed-economic-benefits/

What a circlejerk article. While the points made are true, it insults anyone not already using linux so it'll probably push those people away from linux.

lol the blurb is more than enough to convince me it's a waste of time.

That tone isn't useful.

Despite the warning I skimmed the "article" and the website, which seems to be owned by OP judging by their post history, and can agree. Just a bunch of disconnected rants written in a condescending tone.

No examples or statistics, or any attempt to source any of the claims either.

Considering OP is also trying to sell their services, that makes it quite possibly the worst attempt at disguised advertising I've ever seen.

Yeah Microsoft badly needs to adopt ctrl-alt-sysreq-REISUB instead

I also love Linux and will definitely use it until my very last breath, but come on! Was it really necessary to pull a "Fox and the grapes" kind of logic against Microsoft?
