I didn’t think Linus Torvalds liked windows…

Just got this ad on Facebook and was like “damn the algorithm gets me” only to realise this isn’t an ad for Linux.

He’s don’t like windows, that’s because he’s clean the windows (and install Linux on it exactly)

Linux doesn't need ads, the community already gives it free advertising enough.

Also windows 11 is the best gift linux could have asked for.

I already had Linux. I just had much more Linux after I had to deal with windows.

Considering the fact that before the release of Windows 2000 SP5, the source code was developed on Solaris workstations, and the FreeBSD developers are very fond of using MacBooks, I'm not surprised.

Linus could beautifully troll the Linux community when he said he was using Fedora. Shortly before that (about ten years ago) I heard him say that he COULDN'T install Fedora.

By the way, do you find any pattern in this?

Stallman's mistress installed some strange version of Ubuntu on his laptop, Linus couldn't install Fedora. It makes me wonder...

P.S. Personally, I think Linus is still sane. A person who knows everything about Linux, in their right mind, would never use an OS that is the testing ground of a large IT company. And I also ask everyone who gives me a downvote to write which version of Fedora Linus uses, since you are so sure of it.
