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.

Man I miss windows vista. It was peak windows design. I loved the glassy windows and buttons.
In my experience Vista was the worst version of windows ever released. Glassy stuff looked cool but was a huge power hog. Thank god you could turn it off. And 10 feel horrible too (dont upgrade). It doesnt let you "ungroup" windows on the task bar. I prefer them separate and they just removed the option. Why? It was already there. It is a common preference of users. Best windows in my opinion was xp and 7.
Sure it does. Right click the taskbar, go into the Taskbar settings, and there's a dropdown called "Combine taskbar buttons" with an option to never combine.
