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.

Too real. I booted up windows last week because I wanted to test something quickly before going to bed... starting it and testing my thing took about 5 mins; but then shutting down took more than half an hour.

Try ghost spectre. It's a custom windows that rarely gets update. I didn't has any problems even with cracked games. But then I left windows for Linux
