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.

For me and everybody else by a long margin. So this is a post where we can say what we expect from a Linux desktop so you can point us to Windows?

Ah, I mentioned it specifically mentioned that they are OS agnostic. Also, what he/she said sounded a lot like Windows, especially because vendors create a lot of software for Windows.

I'm a big proponent of Linux/*nix (BSD), and the previous comment was meant as a sort of joke, but I suppose I should have added the /s
