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.

transitioning isn't legally recognized anymore, per executive order, you may only use the operating system assigned at birth /s
Assigned at conception. In humans, this is always female, as sexual differentiation doesn't happen for weeks. In computers... idk maybe we have to go back to punched tape?
Gears, my friend. The transistors don't form from these proto-circuits until the third trimester, and the CPU doesn't start forming until the last two weeks.
Doctors of Computer Science will often label the computer Windows or Mac around week 18, but you won't truly know whether it's a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer until after the build, sometimes years after.
fair point, i'd recommend going as far as we can, we f'ed up big time on the way!
Bold of you to post this without an /s. I respect the decision.
Linux was a mistake. Users were never meant to have full control of their operating system.
monotone "yes mr gates i will upgrade to windows 11 and buy all the windows 11 office utilitys. Microsoft edge is the best browser it frees me from the scary concepts of choices"
What do you do with the time you save by typing “cuz” instead of “because”?
Respond to comments like this! I have a wealth of time saved up cuz of it
Well if you assume you save 1 millisecond per letter so 4ms per word, and type the word on average once per day over an 85 year lifespan youd save a little over 2 minutes of time total. That could be just enough time to whack one out on your deathbed before you croak.
Lmao, great shitpost. So happy for you!
This is brilliant 🤣
Why? People always feel compelled to troll or say how awful their experience was. This is why I left the Linux subreddit long ago. Not so much a Linux enthusiast sub. More tech support and people writing up elaborate good bye posts. It was weird.
Edited my comment with a link to the post they're referencing
Bro... Did you make this post? Sus
I'm not sure what question you're asking. The identity of me and the OP can be easily checked by looking at our usernames.
I was surprised to find you as the top comment in the post you linked. Was just making a joke. You can stand down.
Ok folks, great to see you all here. We need the following comments ASAP:
- I did the same (back in AD 1727)
- No backup, no care
- OS supremacy
- ~~Prepare for~~ Expect disaster
- Our glorious OS, their barbarous hack
- Expect bugs
- Expect normies flippin'
- ~~Prepare for~~ Expect disaster
What is with printers?
- Expect people complaining about these types of posts

For the polarised kids: Windows sucks. Linux rules. JS Bach endorses Gentoo
Congrats?
