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.

@flashgnash also edge is a great browser we just hate it because of the way they force you to use it
The performance with Edge is surprisingly good. The built in spyware, not so much.
And, you know, it being one of the most invasive spywares around.
Edge's bookmark solution is way better than the other browsers. I respect that ingenuity. From a distance.
I actually really like edge, if it weren't for telemetry I'd probably still use it on linux
Once upon a time Internet Explorer was a great browser. Until they successfully forced the majority to use it.
