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.

Seriously considering swapping over to my Linux partition as main and virtualizing the Windows side this weekend. Still need the Windows because well, I make Windows software.
Why do you make Windows software?
Job?
Who has those?
Apparently God's found whole new ways to test him.
🤡
Is this some r/antiwork insanity?
Every hour spent on developing Windows software is completely wasted time of your life. Especially when you understand the importance of GNU/Linux and FOSS. Windows keeps the user enslaved. But most people won't understand that, they don't want to. So all I can reply to that is 🤡
It's fun, they pay me for it, I'm good at it, and I can work entirely from home.
