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.

In the Windows community I'm guessing the top message would say:

When you install Linux but didn't realize a dozen locales were preselected

“I keep having packages that are not updated when I run apt update; apt upgrade - no matter how many times I type it!!1!”

Unfortunately, windows likes to wake your computer from sleep to update and reboot without your permission. All unsaved work be damned.
