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.

Yes! Absolutely. I can not count the amount of times where a windows update absolutely crushed my schedule.

I can count the number of times where a Windows update crushed my schedule - 0.
I've used Windows since Windows 3.0. I don't need to badmouth Linux to make me feel good about my choice of OS (though I can - I've enough experience with half a dozen different varieties of Linux to be more than happy to just use my computers, rather than spend my time managing them).
Wow, "it never happened to me so it shouldn't matter when it happens to you" is the biggest shit-take I've seen today.
Bye!

You look like something of an expert on shit-takes.
I didn't say it shouldn't matter when it happens to you.
But it's hard to take seriously the comments of someone who clearly thinks they know more than they actually do. Someone who wants to use cutting edge hardware, but who isn't smart enough to manage the drivers.
