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.

You see, but for a windows power user, Microsoft’s obstacles are minor. I can’t transition because I have my most used Universal Windows Tweaker or WinAero tweaker registry edits written down for every clean install. Microsoft Activation Scripts 1.8 allows me to use anything from Windows for Education to Pro for Workstations. I don’t find it inflexible, I bend it to my will without difficulty because it’s what was the standard and I learned inside and out. I haven’t transitioned to Linux because I can’t maintain the same ability without relearning a new OS.
