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 somewhat agree with the Mac thing, but the same could be said for KDE or Cinnamon and Windows. Don't try to act like they didn't take the Windows UX and run with it lol. But of course if you called their DEs an attempted Windows clone they wouldn't like it either.
The ability to OPTIONALLY pay for apps right from the software centre is a good thing. The money goes to the developers and FOSS has serious problems in terms of actually funding developers. Flathub is looking to implement similar functionality.
You can install elementary apps on other distros just fine... They're available as flatpaks.
Blatant transphobia. Classic.
They aren't restricting freedom at all lol, and even if they were, nobody's forcing you to use Elementary.
It's not transphobia, it's reality and that guy is an abomination.
I'm not American so I don't give a crap about who is offended.
I'm not American either. I'm just not a salty, whiny little bigot who gets offended at pronouns.
Get a grip, snowflake.
I don't get offended at pronouns. I get offended at morons who use the wrong pronouns because they're stupid.
Aww diddums, you poor wittle snowflake
The nasty lady huwt your wittle feewings 🥺🥺❄️
How do you not understand it has nothing to do with feelings? It has to do with how God created you. If you have a penis you're a male. If you have a vagina you're a female. If not negotiable. It's also not complicated.
Obey your Creator or die an eternal flaming hell. It's totally your choice.
It's 100% all about your pwecious wittle fee fees.
God lmao
If God was real, which he isn't, I'd hate him anyway. A sexist, pro-slavery, violent, homophobic piece of shit.
I follow facts, not your mentally challenged imaginary friend.
I assure you He is very real and the words you've spoken against Him you will have to answer for on the Day of Judgement.
Repent while you can. Read the gospel and learn the truth. God is love but He is also justice and judgement.
Ohhh you assure me? Well that's good. I guess I and everyone else will just convert to Christianity because you've assured us.
You just keep worshipping your sky daddy and I'll continue being a normal person.
Your god is a cowardly piece of shit. If he was real I'd spit in his face for being such a piece of shit. But he obviously isn't, so unfortunately I'll never get that chance.
He gave His own life to save you and me. And was subjected to the most painful form is death you could have.
Hardly cowardly.
Cowardly.
And the whole dying for our sins crap, give me a break. That's another story that proves the fictional god character to be a total piece of shit.
When I want to forgive someone, I just forgive them. I don't demand human sacrifices to appease me. But hey, I'm a bigger, kinder, more compassionate, more emotionally stable person than your sky daddy.
