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.

Agreed. ipads and iphones being locked as a platform, i would never buy them. The PCs? You can install Linux and be happy with it (if you're lucky enough).
Imagine buying a trash Mac for something like that lmao
I don't understand why you are being so impolite.
I understand making fun of apple shills, it's not a mature thing to do, but I get it. I just want to point out that being so "anti shill" is just as cringe.
Why do you care about what other people buy? We are having a technical discussion about different platforms, and your whole argument is "lmao buying apple".
Chronic case of fanboyism. I don’t like it so therefore there’s nothing good about it.
I've blocked them, I have other things to care about today, than arguing with a stranger about bullshit.
It's sad, because other than that we were having a pretty nice conversation. Such is life...
I’m convinced it’s a troll bot at this point lol
So how's your first day on the internet going otherwise?
Holy shit mate, are you for fucken real? "Why do you care that people give money to fucking tech giant Slavers?"
I hate Apple because of it's walled-garden practices, and even I'm tired of your rants about it. Yeah, I would never (again) buy an Apple product, but they know how to mix hardware, software and device integration like nobody else. If we want civil conversation and accurate info, we have to be objective. Additionally, Mac computers have a very specific use case, in my opinion, for everything else, any Linux distro blows Mac and Windows out of the water with not much effort.
