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.

Its more secure. It is way better on multiple displays already. It is actually maintained. Windows are not just random things but there is actually a system behind it. Programs need manual portal permission to spy on you. No app can register your keystrokes or film your desktop.
"Dont ask yourself IF it works, but HOW it works" - Peter stuge
Did he say that because the answer to IF it worked was no?
He was referring to proprietary BIOSes that work for sure but suck. Coreboot on the other hand also works but doesnt suck
