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.

I recall a time when Windows 10 was going to be the last release of windows. It's was just going to be updated forever. I'm glad that they have returned to the usual every second or so release is going to be a unfinished half baked turd until we can really get things right in the following release.
RIP Bob, ME, Vista, 8/8.1, and hopefully sooner than later 11...
