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.

I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

Is this the circlejerk community of lemmy?

Average Reddit comment.

  • Attempts to roast everyone in the thread and dreail the thread itself by attempting to be "funny".
  • Contributes nothing to the discussion.
  • Is the reason why circle jerk threads begin at all.

You: 🤡

What is the point of your comment? The person asked what the Linux community thinks about Microsoft and you come with this idiotic CiRcLeJerk bs? You didn't add anything to the thread.

I've learnt a bunch of horrible practices done by MS that I wasn't aware of so thank you everybody else.

If you have been on lemmy for any amount of time, "Microsoft bad" is posted almost daily. I'm not disagreeing, yes they are bad. It's super circle jerky to post a whole thread literally asking something that is posted in comments/other posts literally daily. It's fine I just find it funny lol
