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.

We've all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we'll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.
The year of the netbsd desktop is finally here.
what's the bsd equivalent to arch
I think BSD is the BSD equivalent to arch.
"I'm using netBSD btw...."
Yeah isn't Arch heavily inspired by the BSD way?
OpenBSD, probably
PacBSD?
Is it still maintained ? I'd probably go with FreeBSD if I'm switching to BSD at all. It has ZFS out of the box and has support for nvidia's non opensource driver. I have used it as a desktop OS for a good 3 months, it was pretty good (even though I couldn't game on it)
I'll go back to HaikuOS, it should be ready by then. ReactOS will still be working on Win98 support.
I'll move to TempleOS
Time to start teaching Holy-C at uni.
But what happens when Bill Gates is dead?!
We all become MacroHard
Bill Gates will never die, he'll transfer his consciousness to the 5G network and control us all through vaccines
"You see officer, it wasn't me robbing that bank. Bill Gates did it!"
All the vaccine microchips activate and we all become Bill Gates. ʘ‿ʘ
What a blessed day.
MSed day to you
That would be one helluva evil plan.

I think I have a Windows ME CD lying around somewhere. Can I use that?
That does sound almost kinda dope because that's a lot of developers who could make Windows suck a lot less
Microsoft: we don't do that here
The point of non-free licensed software is that you cannot improve it.
