    As a Windows user that was an interesting read. For some reason I thought Windows was catering to Americans whilst Linux was being the international all rounder.

      How would an operating system even cater to a country? Is there a distinctly American way to access files

        Bloat and running fans nonstop. Every other language pack needs to be added post install.

        Completely unconcerned that other operating systems might be using the hard drive and just fucks them up without a thought.

        You yell at it for being a tar and not a zip

        (lack of/lacking) internatiolisation and localisation.

        You do notice that a lot of software is made with Americans in mind and Linux/FOSS is no exception. But there’s worse like notion for example.

        When you look at the way windows handles i18n, it’s fair to say it caters to the US market.

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.
