If you would like to try out Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this purpose for safety reasons.
1) Use the Live ISO to boot directly into the Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with Linux.

Thats one of the biggest issues we are trying to address but you gnu fags wont listen.
ITs wrong to have the kernel be compiled by ONE compiler,this is giving rms and fsf leverage over Linux.
Oh you want to look at furry hentai? Well we have 10,000 image views for you.
Want to control the kernel?
NOPE JUST GCC FUCK YOU
icc and plan9 are getting there.Clang will most likely have a compiled kernel within a year
