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.

"Oh to change that basic thing? Control panel...wait...no...the other control panel, the real one...no ..(searches it despite MS hiding it more than ever) ok now it's in one of these obscure hyperlinks half-assedly tossed to the side...which opens a dialogue...with 4 tabs...after you click "advanced"....THERE I turned off Fastboot for you."
I can't believe that's how I used to have to do things lmao.
The scariest thing they can do to Linux now market-wise is to bring back Windows 2000's UI and paradigm and cleanliness, but with modern kernel and drivers and functionality.
Thankfully they are too dumb for that.
