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.

Why are so many people racist against indians? This thread is a good example.

I'm an instance admin and see heaps of the same stuff being posted. Pretty sure it's one lonely troll not lots of people. Even in this thread, it's all one user account not lots of different people, but we see the same stuff posted across lots of brand new accounts in a very similar way.

Well, up to 2 people now. But yeah, I get your point. Some people just suck

Here's what it looks like in Morocco:

Somehow we prefer using the Apple more than the Penguin.

Why is Chrome OS separate?

Enslaved Linux

And from 2026 thanks to Microsoft it will raise more as I can’t possibly imagine everyone buying new computers just for windows 11

[–] Bene7rddso@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Me neither, but what I can imagine is people running an unsupported OS forever, like they did with XP and probably 7

Somehow things seem similar (perhaps better) in Greece:

[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair here, Greece has much less population than India 🙂

[–] christos@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my bad, I misunderstood the concept of percentage.

[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To put it in right context (relying on Wiki data for year 2021):

Current population of Greece: 10,482,487 (~10.5 Million)

Current population of India: 1,210,854,977 (~1.2 Billion)

[–] christos@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Percentage, it's percentage that is recorded, percentage.

"India has more people per capita!"

[–] uis@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Edit: 3.52% in Finland.

[–] skqweezy@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Czech Republic is at 2.53%

This is the birthplace of Red Hat Linux for god's sake

[–] iloverocks@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Ofc, you would not want your own computer to have a virus, would you?

Joke, I'm jealous of you and your Government. Germany is doing something, but not nearly enough to push Linux.
