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.

I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

You totally missed the point I was trying to say. And I'm not going to explain because of laziness.

I did not miss the point and corrected your statement not being applicable, because the comparison is totally wrong. And I explained why. You claim me being missing the point and not trying to explain, then I have to assume you have no explanation.

Linux community does not have a hierarchy that resolves to a single entity controlling the system. However Microsoft is a narrow company. And you are wrong when saying that Microsoft is not an entity.

Assume whatever you want. I don't care
