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.

guys!! don't you think we should start a big buzz on the internet for Linux? after what we discovered that bill gates the CEO of the evil company Microsoft is a predator in the Epstein files, then it's our chance to start a global media campaign against Microsoft and all of it's products!! we will make people leave windows for Linux! I know that It might not have that big effect since it's very hard for people but I'm sure we can wake many people up and save them from windows to the warm hands of the pinguin. what do you think? I just think that we should seize every opportunity to spread Linux. #boycottMicrosoft #switchtolinux

Sure any idea on how?

For my part i have been talking about linux to everybody for the last 10 years, it made me very pleasant at parties, highly recommend!

The few people that actually listened tried it out, contacted me 5 times per day asking for tech support for half a week, then switched back because they did not like the shape of the icons in KDE.
