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.

Genuinely, the more I use Linux the more slow and clunky windows feels. Also I'm a power user, when you install custom apps on windows it FEELS bloated, it's like "you didn't do this the WINDOWS way, so it's clunky" meanwhile on Linux it's like "yeah man it's open just plug in whatever" and it JUST WORKS
Doesn't matter if you did do it the windows way, honestly. Anything of any scale programmed in .NET has runtime reflection scattered everywhere, and that shit adds up.
.NET runs fast on Linux
