Linux

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.

Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

So is that a personal laptop your using for work or a work laptop? Because if it's the latter, they're doing a terrible job setting policies and turning crap off with either GPO or some DSC system.

It's a work laptop We're a small company - I still feel like calling our IT terrible instead of Microsoft is misguided though

Yeah there are ways to turn that off. Additionally business should be using Enterprise edition which doesn't have the telemetry or that unneeded bloat. You have an incompetent IT department.

I would just dualboot
