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.

I tried that, I ended up with this weird "Windows 11" adware installed and couldn't get rid of it. There was also a problem with odd programs and advertising showing up in my Start Menu, even after I removed them. Also, my settings would occasionally just change, without my knowledge or permission.

You can't get a virus if your computer's already dependent on one!
Sounds legit, thank you.
