Linux

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.

What a circlejerk article. While the points made are true, it insults anyone not already using linux so it'll probably push those people away from linux.

lol the blurb is more than enough to convince me it's a waste of time.

That tone isn't useful.

Despite the warning I skimmed the "article" and the website, which seems to be owned by OP judging by their post history, and can agree. Just a bunch of disconnected rants written in a condescending tone.

No examples or statistics, or any attempt to source any of the claims either.

Considering OP is also trying to sell their services, that makes it quite possibly the worst attempt at disguised advertising I've ever seen.
