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 ran some benchmarks the other day and I was amazed by just how powerful and efficient the M4 Max in my Mac Studio is vs the 9800x3d in my desktop. Not only did the entire system use 2/3 the power of the 9800, while scoring well over 1.5x more. And then the system goes to idle and uses less than 10 watts. Less than just the 9800 at idle.
They’re incredible feats of engineering, only hampered by apples fuck ass software.
Exactly. I would also add it's because of their business practices which fucks the software side
-Yes, it's better.
The only thing they're good at is marketing and you're falling for it. It's technology for tech illiterate idiots.
Linux fucks every other OS.
Yes I'm falling for their marketing by specifically hating macs for 20 years, realizing they're better than windows, using them for work daily and hating every annoyance of a mac, and finally shunning everything else in favor of Linux on every device possible. Yeah man I'm a mark!
Binary thinking makes fools of people. Do better.
