Today I found out somebody uses Linux, bro I thought that was like some outdated software like dial up internet! Who uses Linux these days? I heard of it in passing but I don’t even know wtf it really is. I’ve only ever used windows. Do people have gripes with windows and prefer Linux over windows? What is the difference between the two?

Edit:thanks for all the nice comments trying to explain things to me. I didn’t know how integral Linux was to the internet as a whole and I certainly didn’t know people where so passionate about it. I still am struggling to know what kernels are and gnu or whatever, but i understand it’s a bunch of techno bable that’s hard for an uneducated noob like me to grasp. Thanks for your patience

Observation:

Trust takes decades to build and can be destroyed much faster. One of America's greatest exports has been confidence in America itself: confidence that its institutions, technologies, contracts and alliances would remain dependable across changes of government. We may now be watching that extraordinarily valuable national asset depreciate.

Lead Lines:

China plans to drop Windows earlier than planned in favor of Linux for some government bodies. The move comes as part of China's broader push to reduce dependence on foreign products and services, especially those of US origin.

Can I take photos and film a Maibaum raise? (Bayern)

I know Germany is very strict about this. May I post it to my Instagram Stories? It's definitely a nice tradition and part of the culture. I would definitely refrain from taking photos of people's faces. I suppose it's fine to take general photos or videos of the scenery without focusing on people. I'd like to be respectful and polite, and I want to follow the rules and laws.
