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 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.
Dude, this idiot is locked on hating on Crapple and making it known to the point of annoyance. I'm following what others did and just blocking that kid (pretty sure anyone over 14 years old would have enough brain power to read the room at this point). I suggest you do the same so that we can all continue that more productive discourse of hating on Windows and Apple for accurate and objective reasons.
