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.

You can do all the privacy measures in the world, but if the people you talk to are using spyware then it's all out the window. (literally Windows, get it?)
This video breaks down some of the basic reasons to switch to Linux so you can convince your friends: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-linux-beats-windows/
I reinstalled ubuntu 23 today and after sleep the laptop was just stuck at async error. No way to get out of it other than force shutdown. This happened twice out of 3 times i put it to sleep.
you think if i told a normie this is the issue i face he will switch to linux?
Hardware can be an issue, but for sleep and even hibernate I would suggest OpenSUSE, it has not failed me
surely there are never problems with windows
i also have windows installed and no it never did apparently.
