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 live in Europe. No unpaid overtime here and productivity requirements are reasonable, so no way to blame for my tools on that. And even if my laptop OS broke itself completely then I'm productive at reinstallation, as keeping my tools in a running shape is also on my job description. So, as long as I'm not just scratching my balls and scrolling instagram reels all day long that's not a concern.
Same here, but in a small company a non-functional windows machine can be a pain although you get paid for overtime.
And, even in Europe companies exist that do unpaid overtime. Worked at one for almost 3 years, all Linux, but I had to prepare for work on weekends. It was not worth it and it did not have anything to do with missing Linux skills. It was just a very demanding job with too much travel time. I hate unpaid overtime.
So, it is easier to blame Win11 that s*** itself again when work could not be done in time.
