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.

Windows 7/8 ... "Old machines"...
....
Am i this old ?
They're over 10 years old at this point, Windows 10 released in 2015, 9 years ago.
Unfortunately, yes, we are old!
I left windows as xp got replaced with 7.
If I were to install Windows as a dual boot, that'd probably be my choice (xp).
My current machine was a 7, but the previous owner had installed Ubuntu by the time I bought it. It's slow enough, there's no way I'd put myself or the computer through running windows.
Yes, I was born before the Internet was.
