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 know the "best linux for gaming" is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

and you are being an aggressive douche to me in your Microsoft dick sucking fanboyism.

What, you make me laugh. Someone is touchy. Now seriously and just to be clear I don't work for Microsoft and I don't like their bullshit nor I endorse it and I would rather never touch their solutions in my life.

However, I'm not "delusional" about Linux desktop nor I'm so out of touch with Windows' reality to the point I say that you can't disable the spyware like you did - because you can do it and you can also prove it with Wireshark.

Microsoft doesn't have your best interests in mind, that's for sure, they won't probably care about the petition but at the end of the day history repeats itself and there will be a lot of companies and governments using Windows 10 that will essentially make them (pay) to extend its lifetime. About spyware, those same countess companies and government agencies force Microsoft to have group policy settings to disable the "spyware" otherwise they can't use it. In short, Microsoft has all the right incentives to properly document Windows' spyware and develop options to disable it.
