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.

people who insist on using windows should just run it in a VM, it has suprisingly low overhead these days, you can even game with it if you insist, but i'm hearing wine/proton is getting good enough that it doesn't even matter

windows' ram overhead is insane though, it's not like I can't run it but I wouldn't want to daily drive it

I haven't booted Windows since February and at this point I'm afraid to.

If you haven't used Windows in that long you might as well just get rid of it.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
