Along time ago, people were starting programs and maintaining their pc by typing everything from a command prompt (c>)
As this was kind of unfriendly to new users, a GUI (Graphical interface) was developed around it, so instead of working from a command prompt people could use their mouse to do almost everything.
Some old users revolted and created a system that went back to the old ways, it was called Linux.
Now they feel superior, while having to run tons of stuff to use the same programs, often causing their computers to crash which they do not understand is coming from their emulators but they accuse Windows instead. And these people tell I live in the stone age...
