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.

If you're using linux and also use brew package manager on your machine, what is your use case? I'm curious why people would use brew in addition to their distribution's native package manager.

Well a comment like this will not help in your case, calling people idiots is not nice. Most on Linux sub don't like Windows, you should expect this. No need to get furious about random internet points. I also don't like Windows, but wish you best luck with it. At least you are using Linux on it. Just ignore people who hate YOU for that.
