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.

Not a darn thing.
Honestly there too. I dual boot between windows and linux for some work stuff, and on windows I find myself thinking "how do people tolerate this shit?". That's often when deleting a large folder or uncompressing an archive :)
What's so hilarious to me are the animations that go along with deleting (or moving) a large folder. The old animation was just a file flapping its way from one destination to another. When Windows 7 came out, there were zooming icons with lens flares! I was like "What's next? A dancing frog?"
There's a live graph of the abysmal filesystem performance now, that's comedy gold :)
