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.

”Better known as Windoze”
Stopped reading right there. Edgy 14 year old script kiddies can think whatever they want. I’m not interested.
The overall post isn't that bad, though. But the edginess and shit takes on Windows were very unnecessarry
There's a deluge of impersonal, academic, dry sources of information out there. If I chose that road it would just feel like writing a thesis. It's on my personal website, so I hope you can forgive a touch of personality. The levity is what keeps me going; there's so much frustrating/disheartening news all around us and comedy is a crucial way of dealing with it.
Anyhow, I appreciate you taking the time to interact.
Dude just cited it as a joke
What a fragile person, literally makes a lightist jab at a known enemy of free software and now you're pissing and shitting yourself.
But no, your billion dollar corporation needs defending from you. Get real.
