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.

I mean your point may have been windows sucks ass but I'm aware of where I am and that's a completely uninteresting claim here. Why not rant about water being wet -- it's just as unique or interesting as your take on windows.

What I specifically asked about is underhanded backstabs, because that's a unique and interesting claim I haven't read 464335735 times before on lemmy.

Well, you’ll have to ask the person making that claim to begin with. I just added my take on the list of annoyances about W11.

I find your interest in the expression itself rather uninteresting. I do hope it goes without saying people say these things without meaning them literally.

All in all the step from W10 to W11 is such a letdown one might compare it to a backstab, underhanded or otherwise.

And with that I’m done defending an expression I didn’t use to begin with. Good day.

That implies I want to argue with somebody who is sealioning.
