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.

Windows is not difficult to install, it's just tedious and full of anti privacy options most people don't care about
Also don't think 90% of people will ever install an operating system in the first place anyway
Teenagers are not lazy and are definitely installing it have you seen the hyprland discord
have not, have only seen dozens of actual teenagers in real life.
I've seen maybe 4 people using Linux in real life and 2 of them are friends/family
If you're in any of the Linux related discords for long enough to pick up on it you'll realize there are a lot of kids there
the only people I know, that "use" Linux, are those Instagram hackerman type of persons.
Pretty sure a lot of the people here are deathly allergic to anything meta. I know a couple people irl who just get on and use it also
