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.

Jesus fucking christ. Microsoft sucks.

Linux could’ve still been in 2010s and users would migrate to it because of what microsoft is doing.

Wild that he drops this video right after I had a conversation with a friend all about this. Now I don't have to explain how Microsoft has been handicapping ARM for years.
