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.

Everyone talking it's bad but I think it's not, I mean you got another key for shortcut to anything you want after uninstall that crap it's useless anyway

Yeah. It's stupid and crummy, but it's a new key to bind. But then again, have you ever really used the context menu key? I have not.

Context menu key is kinda essential for navigating without a mouse. I don't use it all that often but I am very glad it is there.

True, I rarely use it when my mouse decided to crap itself
