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.

What is this? Arguing with a 5yo? No offense but do you genuinely believe "I don't like X" without even explaining why could lead to interesting conversations? Do better. At least provider argument on why you like Windows (there are actually some good reasons, even for people who don't like Microsoft) and why you don't like Linux (there also are good reason).

You're not actually "intersed" otherwise you'd have at least bothered to link to couple articles, videos, etc arguing either way and would have at least taken the time to write 2 sentences properly.

Blocked as I have to assume it's either engagement bait or just the laziest person on Earth.

Preach!

I get pissed off by typos in general, but when it's just a quick chat and they missed the correct letter by one or just bad autocorrect, I can deal. (at least until they "accidentally a word" too many times to be readable)

But going to a group you disagree with to ask questions and get answers while, speaking like a kid in elementary school is actually bewildering.

Unless they actually are a kid in elementary school.
