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.

Based on how increasingly user-hostile Windows has been getting lately, I don't trust it outside of a VM or outside of a second system I don't care about if I want or need to run it baremetal for some reason, and that includes LTSC.

At least LTSC for now seems to be spared from MS' worst anti-user atrocities, but there's nothing saying those SKUs won't get screwed somehow at some point down the line.

I'm done with Windows and YouTube videos that should have been a written post.

Amen! Can we please have more written posts on the internet again? It’s much easier to search and follow along.

Isn't this like posting "I'm done with meat, are you?" in /c/vegan?
