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.

Be nice, can't you see they're only able to afford red pixels?
Both of them combined only take about 1 inch of vertical space, so it's not that big in real life.
Are you talking about the 2 bars at the top of the window? If yes, I find them more useful than the used space. Probably a matter of taste
Keyboard shortcuts mean memorising. Some people have issues with memory. On-screen buttons mean no memorising.
That's the cool thing about Linux. You can customise it to your own needs and desires. Everybody is different.
Sorry I just realised I was wrong and I did not have the menu bar by default. I don't really notice it anymore...
Ya I turn those off too haha. Hide the scrollbar too.. Then press F11. Terminal man…
