ludditus.comPlease keep the thread civil and read the whole thing first, it is huge and you can learn a lot from it + the comments are also interesting.
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.

Great article : some parts are about :
1- USB flash drive benchmarks, * many models, * many file systems …
2- copying large files beyond the internal caching abilities of the flash drive makes the writing speed drop by ~10x … so, impossible to trust any benchmarks ; real use ( Linux install for instance), has to be done.
3- all Linux’s window managers and all it’s desktop environments are less ergonomic than Win95, … KDE Plasma 5 is an horrendous bloat.

From that article :
This statement is completely wrong in most situations, yet :
.1) in the context it seems right, and
.2) the word “dumb” should be replaced by “disconnected” from user’s reality.
