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.

I have no idea what you are quoting, as you never cite or link any source??? "I can't go back to Windows" is not a source?
Yes insults are appropriate when faced with moronic claims that what I write never happened unless I can provide evidence.
I know what I saw and I shared it here. You can believe it or not, just be sure to pay attention, and if you want to buy anything based on his advertising videos, be sure to double check his info, because LTT is not trustworthy. If you think he is, you are very very ignorant and naive.
Edit:
OK I opened a private window and I am watching the video now, clearly they have changed their mind, so now Linux is stellar and Microsoft is the "bad" guy.
