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.

Then im forced to use windows at work and get locked into a 45 minute forced update.

Not to mention how horribly slow win11 is even on 64 gb ram and an i7.

And the bloatware. Never seen so much bloat (and ai slop shit) ever before. And start menu ads. Yay.

How do people use this trash!

But it's still Windows.

Doesn't matter how much hot sauce and cinnamon you dunno on to a turd, it's still a turd.

Still windows but if you remove the bloatware, its "a turd" but it smells less. If that helps. Windows is terrible, I agree, but for those who need to use it, any software like startallback, or something like the chris titus tool should be recommended.

Strange, doesn't feel like a turd using it as a daily driver. Feels more like XP or 7 after a fresh install.
