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: "winget!"
Nobody asked you, Microsoft. Go back to making compact nuclear reactors, because honestly that's based AF.
wasn't a thing yet when the comic was made; technology advances so quickly...
Yeah, but it's also a Windows exclusive - so it's just usable on the Windows platform, but it's a package managed for windows!
winget install gimp.GIMPinstalls gimp, no browser necessary =)Check the link though. Microsoft might pull a sneaky in the future. "All Winget packages will be bundled with telemetry for security" or something like that.
