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.

This is why windows is better, it doesn't suffer from stormy weather. Puny Linux users and their weather based OS
Oh yeah, I'll trust closed source instructions for MY computer over this!
And if you're ignorant and I need spell that out for : Sarcasm.
Yeah the other user was sarcastic aswell.
I couldn't tell. I'm ignorant.
Was that sarcasm?
This whole thread is sarcasm, dipped in a whipped sarcasm batter, crusted with crushed sarcasm, then deep fried in a pure sarcastic oil for a sarcastically long time until it's a nice even color. It's then drizzled with a sarcastic reduction, and presented on china with a sarcastic pattern with accompanying cutlery.
But how can you tell, there's no /s?
It tastes like sarcasm.
