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.

The only person you're spiting is yourself.
It seems like this schtick is demonstrably a part of your online personality.
It's good to have a rational for your choices. And we know it can't be because you think Microsoft makes good software that you enjoy using.
Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. Do you control the source code? What if these "disabled" toggles are placebo and the "if" statement in the code doesn't exist and it just always gobbles up your data? What a naive way to think.
It's probably all been silently turned back on through updates
I installed windows on the steam deck and it sucks and i love it.
I feel so triggered.
I can bing every solution that copilot can't find. On the go.
Bing, the one thing Microsoft did better than the competition
Then they ruined it for some reason
Use Windows XP to annoy both Linux users and those guys who get a serious bee in their bonnet about EOL software
I mean, if you don't use it for anything important and it doesn't have any sensitive data, knock yourself out
Good doggie
That's weird, dude.
Will you be doing great when all your activity and gets leaked in screenshot form from windows recall, and all your activity is logged via your mandatory online account tied to your PC?
Microsoft hand has been played and that's the direction windows is going. It's practically here.
