I was 11 and had issues with bad ram sectors so Windows would shut down every few minutes.

I read up on it and used an Ubuntu live USB, back when unity was new, I loved that it wouldn’t have problems with my ram so I installed it and started distro hopping.

I now don’t have a computer so I only use Windows at work.

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.
