Linux

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 just a post about satisfaction. After years of using Linux exclusively, I was going over my Feeder just now, and just figured that I automatically dismiss anything containing the words "Microsoft" or "Windows" in it.

This made me realize how much better we Linux users actually have it.

Anyway, that's all this is about.

And yet here you are, making a post about your thoughts on Windows.

I know, the irony.

I was lucky that my work software had a Linux version, so since 2017 was able to use Linux all day. Recently I needed Windows for a software. It is hell dealing with Windows interface again (it has a terrible workflow), and constant push of nonsense AI in apps, etc

Yeah, when forced to use Windows it's way worse because we know the other end of the spectrum.

I still follow windows news because of family/friends but damn am I glad I switched to linux everytime I see some stupid mandatory bs Microsoft adds...

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I did too, but never cared again after my wife finally switched over to Fedora. I have nobody else that I care about enough using windows.
