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.

When windows 10 stops getting supported I'm expecting to see lots of Linux noobs or at least somewhat of a noticeable spike.
I'd say more than a noticeable spike has already occurred. It's trending with popular Youtube Streamers & although I have had very little interaction with Linux subreddits or Lemmy instances; the algo feeds me Linux posts constantly. Admittedly, I do enjoy the tech savvy & intelligent. So I guess the algorithm is working, in this case.
