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.

That's exactly why I love Linux and hate Windows. Try something simple in Windows like setting custom keyboard shortcuts... insanely frustrating. I'm not sure you can even do it without 3rd party apps, but in Linux I can do it in 10 seconds.
On the flip side try to get Linux to play back audio at above 48,000 Hz without breaking absolutely everything that isn’t already at the desired sample rate.
In Windows it is 5 clicks.
Try and get the Focusrite Solo at 48k with Windows without using the awful software that comes with it, in Linux it's literally plug and play. It goes both ways, that's what Windows plebs don't understand. All the issues Windows plebs complain about in Linux, are also present in Windows: driver issues, updates breaking userspace, etc.
Those are common problems. What is not common is the complete lack of control and customization, the ads and telemetry data, and the dogshit workflows that Windows offers.
Attacking people because there are valid criticisms of Linux, which you haven’t refuted at all, shows how utterly stupid you are.
Yes there are valid criticisms of Windows. No that does not give you a pass to attack people who use it, they have made their own choice.
One device, which you admit works with the correct drivers, doesn’t remotely compare to a glaring flaw with audio that I can find first mentioned in 2002 still impacting Linux today.
I haven't attacked anyone... yet, but the cognitive dissonance of that first sentence, oh my! Do you have any self-awareness at all? I can't imagine contradicting myself in the same fucking sentence, lmao, you're straight up delusional my guy.
I explained why they are not valid criticisms and you're missing my point that it goes both ways, but anyway... thanks for that opening sentence and confirming your opinions don't merit consideration. I will no longer waste time conversing with you, not because you are ignorant but because you quite obviously lack critical thinking abilities.
Yes you clearly meant that in an endearing sort of way.
