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.

With these kind of titles, I hope you will, and know you won't.

Hey guys, you will not BELIEVE this but I am DELETING MY CHANNEL if i use windows (NOT CLICKBAIT) [UPDATED] [LATEST] [100% LEGIT]

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 23 points 5 months ago

Can I do it?

I don't know, because I can't verify if you are ever using Windows while I am looking away.

We'll know if he ever finds some funny way to say he's using Windows.. that or he's genuine and it's a click bait title, didn't watch it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm switching to Linux and if I use windows at all for the next month, I HAVE to delete my main channel. Can I do it?

Betteridge's Law of Headlines states that any headline that ends with a yes or no question can almost always be answered with an emphatic "no."

So, I'm going with no.

... I mean, you can actually probably go without a computer entirely for a month.

"What ever happened to that up and coming youtuber. MK Komputing or something?"

"He challenged himself to be without a computer for a month. He went to live in a forest, found his true calling and never returned"

Truly the brightest timeline.

Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I'm deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Why not the other way round? Delete your channel and if you can go a month without using Windows, recreate it.

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Make sure you count those windows backed kiosk things. Also, assuming you're the techie of the family, no tech support this month.
