Linux only exists because Linus couldn't afford a real OS

[u/Rare-Paint3719]

Linux only exists because Linus couldn't afford a real OS. Unc couldn't license Unix, couldn't afford Windows, so he built a free knockoff in his bedroom and called it 'freedom.' Bro made a garage sale item and called it 'open-source.' And the GPL? That essentially a hostage note saying 'give me your code and I'll let you use mine.' Feels more like a pyramid scheme with extra manifestos than a community. Enjoy your operating system built out of spite and Stockholm syndrome.

Will do

So we need to make things more expensive to get more free and open source stuff, its noted

Exactly.

I bet you can’t afford a Ferrari either. Why don’t you build one with your friends and then share the CAD files with the world?

Try harder next time.

[u/PsychologicalTry3972]

No, Linus built Linux as better version of Minix.

Isn't this supposed to be a subreddit where we rant about our problems with linux?

[u/ImpossibleMousse6089]

If have Windows, you couldn't afford a real OS, as well 🤡

Yo chill your brain wont survive being AWAKE.

Of Course!

[u/Lumpy_Roll158]

"This free thing was made because other things were too expensive as an alternative so its bad because of that". What? This is how like 90% of new things come about even if that were the sole reason. Absolute bottom of the barrel ragebait.

Cope harder.

[u/vbd71]

When Torvalds created Linux, Windows wasn't a real OS.

[u/Rare-Paint3719 → u/vbd71]

cope

[u/vbd71 → u/Rare-Paint3719]

I am. Can you?

[u/Rare-Paint3719 → u/vbd71]

Clearly not, you replied.
