Hey, everyone: have you heard about Linux's #Bash!?

All this time I thought it was a #GNU project. This must be a better version or something.
#wtf #sarcasm
- inscius, clacke and Nicolas Maia like this.

@mikegerwitz I use bash, but I don't care about Windows. Microsoft are just doing that because they don't have much choice. Their OS is becoming increasingly irrelevant. One person I know thinks they're on a ten year trajectory towards ditching Windows and just distributing a Microsoft branded GNU/Linux distro instead.

@bob Ideally, no user of the #GNU operating system should care about Windows, unless it's to speak against it or avoid it! GNU/Windows or GNU/NT---whatever we should call it---gives Windows a strong technical advantage, but it is a step back for users' freedoms if they decide to use Windows instead of GNU/Linux. We should dissuade them and be sure to tell them that it's GNU---not Linux---atop of Windows, and tell them about the freedoms that GNU stands for.

@bob @mikegerwitz I've heard speculation that #Microsoft may rebuild #Windows atop a BSD layer (like #Apple did with #MacOS), though that seems to have quieted down recently.
