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.

This is why windows is better, it doesn't suffer from stormy weather. Puny Linux users and their weather based OS
I don’t know man, speaking as someone who lives in a hurricane-heavy locale we have to deal with broken windows due to storms with some regularity.
Oh yeah, I'll trust closed source instructions for MY computer over this!
And if you're ignorant and I need spell that out for : Sarcasm.
Yeah the other user was sarcastic aswell.
I couldn't tell. I'm ignorant.
