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.

Every time I'm forced to use Windows it feels like I'm being punished.
It sounds so dramatic and I know people roll their eyes when I say things like that, but it's absolutely true.
The deeper I've gone with Linux over the years the more Windows seems (aside from the obvious privacy concerns and generally being trash corporate citizens) like an intentionally convoluted and overcomplicated mess.
Win11 is like 30% ai code iirc
Just put it in a VM. Keep it contained.
😬
More like being molested.
