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.

Points for something I've never tried.

Edit: Think I'll just blast Bazzite on it. The recent Gnome scales well and it has nice performance tweaks.
Cheers

I'm... lying?

No, it's pretty clear now that you're quite confused about the difference between apps and services.

And they do support Windows.

Oh god, tell me you're not using the windows store apps for these services on a PC. Even my Alpha kids know better than that.

Seriously, how can someone be even a little familiar with Linux and be so wrong about internet services working on Linux?

And your attitude is just... something else.

Your lying has nothing to do with apps and services and everything to do with gaslighting people in this thread into believing you weren't wrong instead of just admitting you made a dumb mistake.

That's a great question, how can you?

And your attitude is just... something else.

Sorry I don't take being gaslit very well.

Jesus, Buddy. It's not gaslighting to explain how I interpreted your comment, and it's starting to sound like your angry responses are to avoid explaining your position.

Please explain to the class exactly what you mean by services not supporting Linux. No "obviously you know and are just pretending to make me look bad" stuff.

Explain like we're 5.

Oh good now you're gaslighting me about gaslighting.

and it's starting to sound like your angry responses are to avoid explaining your position.

I'm not angry, and I've already explained my position.

Please explain

In the extremely unlikely case that you're legitimately just bad at counting, I advise you to scroll up and try again. If you cannot do that then I literally cannot help you. Restating my explanation will not help you.

We're done here.

Ok, not angry. Tossing constant accusations of lying and gaslighting rather than answering.

Your position was "Linux not supported by platforms". You never explained what that means and no one understood you, clearly.

Almost like... gaslighting to say that you explained your position already.
