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.

"There's a school in Wisconsin that is so underfunded that they only have very old computers and the person running it barely knows hat's a computer and thus won't ever create a budget or approve new systems. Furthermore this school is so irrelevant they aren't even able to qualify for free software from Microsoft. A bored teacher saved the day and made the old computers somewhat useful by installing Linux on his spare time. Of course all of this doesn't come for free, the current generation of students never used a computer at home, just mobile devices, and are being robbed of learning a valuable and required skill for any future job - basic Windows and Office usage."
There, article fixed for you.
Why put this much effort in trying to getting banned? Is making up a story based on the headline a creative writing exercise for you?
I'm not sure why you would ban someone for having an opinion. I don't agree with it but they don't deserve to be censored.
Just making shit up for ragebait is trolling my friend, it's not having an opinion. What he posted has no relation to the interview.
I'm not sure what the benefit of posting something to try to get down votes. The person obviously has a opinion that is unpopular. I've heard the Office argument before from others.

Ahahaha, I like to think about all possible sides of a situation.
That part was good... The pointless Microsoft dick sucking ruined what could have been an insightful point though
What about this situation where kids don't have enough knowledge to give informed consent to being spied on and profiled for the rest of their adult lives?
Once again, people should learn both and be aware of the differences as I said somewhere.
