Isn't Linux a different flavor of Unix?
And isn't Unix used on all internet servers?
The reason I ask this is because Unix uses the forward slash (/) to show file paths, while windows uses the backward slash (\) instead?
I'm probably wrong, but what the hey, asking questions of smart people is better than looking like a dumb**** all my life, which if you've followed my post, you'd know that I'm really good at it.

ETA: does anyone else who switched to Win11 notice that their computer has slowed down?
I was able to download Win11 to my second computer (it has 8 GBs of Ram), while I couldn't on my first one, but even though it only has 4 GBs, the browser (Edge) is still faster than my second one with Win11.

Even on nerdy sites like w3schools Linux percentage is around 4.3%. Telling that Linux worked on your God chosen hardware is unfair at best, considering Windows runs normally on almost all PCs and Laptops.
And yes, Linux is more unpolished compared to Windows, you often struggle to get things work. I've seen countless of bugs in Linux distributions. It isn't just difference. Just look at the reviews on dedoimedo.com and his opinion about desktop Linux. You can cherry pick instances when old Linux programs worked and old Windows programs didn't but this won't change the reality that Windows has much better backward compatibility compared to Linux. Backward compatibility in this context means that it can run old applications, not running on very old hardware. Win7 will probably fail to run on XP era hardware but most XP era software will run on Win7. Here is an example of Win 3.1 GUI program working on Win10. Even Linus Torvalds confirms that the compatibility is a big problem in Linux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PmHRSeA2c8&t=287s . |
