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.

Isn't this like posting "I'm done with meat, are you?" in /c/vegan?
I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough. It instantly reminded me of r/atheism titles going "dae religion bad ?😤" 80,000 up votes
I mean, kind of ... I have file servers, download servers, documentation servers, syncthing servers, backup servers, vaultwarden servers, etc... that are all linux VMs/containers and my main machine is a Macbook, but I do still have a Windows machine in the living room for gaming (yeah, Steam has pushed us far in this regard, but, when I get time to play a game, I just want to play it, I want the best chance it's going to work the first time and that's still, sadly, Windows). I have another windows machine running Blue Iris as my NVR because I didn't have a good experience with Frigate, Shinobi or a few others. I've got a few other systems floating around that do various things and some of them are linux based and some are windows based depending on what's easier/possible.
Honestly, being unbeholden to any OS or distro is my eventual goal. Eventually on mobile as well as desktop.
Similiar for me. Though i'm at an age where i'm here for building and the story, not the grind and challenge, thus mods are a necessity. Which still doesn't work as well as on Windows.
Ugh, I hate all those people making some compromises to live a healthier lifestyle and are talking about their changes so maybe someone can do it too making the group larger and easier to live for everyone. The worst ones.
The point isn't whether it's good or bad as a choice. It's just generally an irrelevant question in this particular community, since it's a self-selected community of people who are here specifically because we generally agree with the statement, at least in principle, to one degree or another.
