Why should I install linux when the best OS already comes with

>>61921228
First off, Windows doesn't run Linux; it runs the GNU system with a layer which converts Linux syscalls to stuff NT understands.
Second, install gentoo.

>>61921228
Windows is dogshit and it's GNU/Linux you fucking moron.

It doesn’t really _matter_ what people call Linux, as long as credit is given where credit is due (on both sides). Personally, I’ll very much continue to call it “Linux”

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Linux had wine for years. Emulating linux does't eat resources and it's much easier since it's open source.

So basically windows got saved for being a fat closed source capitalist moron and now the year of the linux desktop will never come. Fucking irony.

I was calling it linux too. Then you showed up.
