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.

Clicking a button is easier.

Also its more screen space efficient. Two browser windows side by side duplicates the bookmark and url bar squashing it down.

Having both pages next to each other in the same window is very nice and once you get used to it you don't want to go back.

We have splitting in file mangers and it's a loved feature.
