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.

There were UX bugs though it's been some time so I don't remember all of them.

One of them was that when I pressed the windows key and searched for an app sometimes it just wouldn't react at all, and I had to press it multiple times or use another way to launch an application.

Also the default file manager would often hang up for no apparent reason.

The desktop widgets would change their position every single time I logged in and would even disappear.

Edit: just remembered a hilarious one that took me a lot of time to figure out what was happening. If I had my second display turned on while logging in, the visual scale would always set itself to a ridiculous value like 1% or something and everything would be too small to do anything. I had to turn off the display every time I would log in. Before this I didn't even know the PC could detect whether a display is turned on or off.

No matter what I set the scale to in display configurations, it would get fucked if I logged in with a second display turned on.
