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.

Just simply...At least in Cinnamon, I can mouse over the audio icon on the panel and roll the scroll wheel to change the volume. Last time I tried it on Windows, you had to click the icon first. While that alone doesn't sound like much, the whole OS is like that, needing extra little interactions for basically everything. Now that I'm used to using Cinnamon, using Windows feels like walking in beach sand.
I believe they added this in windows recently. Otherwise I absolutely agree though.
I'll admit the "last time I tried it on Windows" has been at least two major versions ago. I've never owned a computer with Windows 10 and never used a computer with Windows 11.
