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.

Windows 11 is kind of technically still just Windows 10 under the hood.
And on the hood too. They realy didn't change that much. Made a few things "simpler" aka worse and that's it
Hahaha so true
Windows was still DOS under the hood for a long time. Win 98 was Win 95. Win 8 was Win 7. This is nothing new for MS.
