        I’m confused, is the image about Linux? I don’t see it says Linux anywhere in the red circles. /s

        Every time one of my friends has issues with windows, I tell them to install a real OS.

        When you tell people to use Linux and they have any issues or something is unclear, they’ll ask you every time. Not sure how many people I could support simultaneously.

          If they do that, support them in fixing it themselves, instead of just fixing it for them. Give a person a fish, feed them for a day or something…

      Well, I do. In fact I’ve installed Linux on 4 classmate’s laptops, after insisting for some time.

      People don’t have any reason to recommend Windows because it’s the regular OS everyone already uses.

      Linux may be an improvement for a lot of people’s use cases but a vast majority of them don’t even know it exists and its not just for servers and stuff. Mac people probably do this too.

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.
