Have you ever noticed that when stuff was sold on CDs and internet updates weren't a thing software was properly tested and mostly bug free while today the end user has to be the beta tester and report bugs / have telemetry?

Software should be approached as engineering not as the shit show it is today.

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.
