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.

Im actually curious if Windows will lose significant market share. Not saying linux would take over but MacOS could really start to eat into Windows with Apple pushing more affordable hardware too lately. Linux will take some too but like if i was a normie and didnt know what Linux was and was choosing Mac or Windows id choose Mac at this point.
