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 mean, if it helps why not! I honestly really do have a lot of fun tinkering with Linux, it's one of the big draws of the OS to me.
Costs a lot less than therapy too.
Because *mumble mumble* no Windows into your soul
I don't like Windows. They leak a lot of air, they are expensive to replace, and you usually just end up covering them anyway.
I also don't like the OS much either. lol
My submarine functions so much better since I nailed them all shut.
