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.

Just because I daily drive Linux doesn't mean I don't have windows around.
I have used every version of Windows all the way up to 11.
My first attempt at Linux was in the days of Windows 3.1
My first successful conversion over to daily driver was in the XP era
I went Mac for a couple years around the windows 8 time frame.
I change jobs and went back to windows for a a few around win10.
I went back to daily driving Linux and the windows 11 era, but I still have three win 10 boxes and a win 11 box that I use pretty regularly.
