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.

I'm running windows and others craps at work.
Like this, its working as a daily vaccine for me 🤣
Daily Linux user since 2013, specifically since the Snowden's leaks.
I think I started using Linux way before that. I think I was just curious about whether I was missing anything. I really am not!
I did too, but with dualboot to keep windows next. Since 2013 its as monoboot, or if I have an dual its 2 linux/BSD but not an msdos system. 😊
Dualbooting with separate harddrives will probably be my solution.
Its the good choice if you feel it like this ! :D
