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.

Can't wait to accidentally press it while gaming, just like the Windows key!

i dont really understand the revenue model here. i also dont understand how there's going to be enough computational power to do LLM shit for all windows users all the time? this sounds bad for the environment.

They did this same thing with Mocrosoft Teams. Microsoft execs are some of the dumbest laziest people.

It's already bad enough that windows 11 has a bing AI button on the top left AND top right corners of the start menu. Like wtf

Another key for me to pop off my keyboard. Great.

It is literally just windows-C to open copilot. Good grief. 🤣

And being marketed as "our first upgrade to PC keyboards in 30 years". I want to be in the marketing teams conference room when this got pitched.
