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.

Image shows a tweet with the header "and people STILL try to convince me Linux and Windows are better when the DATA clearly shows otherwise. SMH" with an image attached showing the following:
"Operating systems by current version" Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6
That's nothing! Darwin is on version 23.
Use gnome then
Pffff. You losers actually think Linux is better? IBM OS/2 FTW FUCKAHS. 😎
(/s obv)
OS/2 was great in its time. I'd very much like to see it open sourced, even though IBM has repeatedly refused.
Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.
linux doesn't have a panther checkmate
Windows 2000 enters the room
But number must go up!
FACTS don't care about your feelings! Study reveals Macos is 2 1/3 times better than Linux, massive 27% improvement over Windows!
Lunix sucks so much that it got stuck into the version 2 for years.
Gnome goes brr
This plot is so stupid it's like comparing oranges to chairs. If they wanted to compare Kernels then compare Linux with XNU and Windows NT.
Didn't know XNU and Windows NT are hybrid kernels, interesting.
