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.

So you pretend that what was running on windows to run in Linux?. Dafuq people are naive af. We are talking mostly enterprise machines, most corporations didnt migrate to windows 11. So its not just installing steam lol
The post title is editorialized. The actual article had nothing to do with Linux.
A lot of the corporate software these days run on cloud or provide viable Linux support. We're hoping that at least this can be covered.
No, those computers can go to underprivileged communities so ppl can have access to word processor, programming, web dev, etc. They would be running Linux and be secure and functional.
Again, naive. People in underprivileged communities would struggle to even turn a computer on properly. Using Linux? Nice ideal, but not gonna happen.
Christ are you fucking serious? That's the most privileged, classist, ignorant comment I've seen in a while.
