In the context of this discussion "operating system" is for the operating system including all kinds off user space software. "Linux" is not only for the kernel and "Windows, Apple, Microsoft" not only for those vendors and this product. We use the terms in place of everything that is used on e.g. a Windows or e.g. a Linux platform. How good the help you get is depends on the domain, used software, chosen forum or (paid) support. Linux doesn't come per se with good gratis support and proprietary software for proprietary operating systems doesn't come per se with less good, expensive support. Those generalizations are nonsense. All those comparisons of pros and cons fail because of wrong assumptions. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
