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.

this is a post for /c/microsoft or /c/windows, not /c/linux 🤷♀️
I'd say it fits for both as I'm leaving windows for some Linux distro
For my part, I couldn't care less about your windows app frustrations and your "intention to leave Windows".
If I wanted to hear what's happening on Windows, I would have subscribed to some Windows related channels. I didn't.
Your post has nothing to do with Linux.
as the inverse to this, I like to be reminded how much Windows sucks so I don’t feel any desire to reinstall it
