My Linux is better than your Linux.

Good read, thanks.

Windows 10 is kernel version 10. ;-) They changed it after one of the major consumer previews were released.

That slowed education for IT for NY for a long time as students in the SUNY system were not getting UNIX exposure.

what a mess...

Windows desktops are loaded with software that you are only limited as to how you can use it by EULA as well.

Eagerly awaiting GNU/Hurd to release!

That requires actual work, instead it's much easier for Stallman to just take credit for Linux GNU/Linux. I mean it's been 30 years and he's made no progress, and plus he lives in the 1970s anyway when it comes to his views of computers, and his followers tend to be overidealistic weirdos who do things like harass people who don't release all their source code, and make excuses for his general insanity, taking advantage of others, taking credit for others' work, and just being generally disgusting and unpleasant.

It's way easier to just do talks about why you should work for free, but not him.

The concept to watch out for is "investing in technical debt".
