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.

It takes so little time you needed to make a post to ask for help lol
Making a post takes a few mins of time. Not boycotting is taking so little of your time that you needed to make 2 comments about it, wow
Omg such a waste of time that could have been spent scrolling through memes instead of trying to do the right thing.
Making a post takes a minute. Responses will take less than a minute. They were crowdsourcing specific and quite niche knowledge. In that time between making the post and reading them after a wait OP was able to do literally anything else instead of searching and trying to pull out decent looking CPUs they couldn't guarantee. If you were buying any CPU you would hopefully look for reviews or comparisons, BDS or not, to inform you.
