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.

I switched from Windows to Linux then went back to Windows cause of mutliplayer games and I'm not sure I'm a fan....like its kinda annoying having to udpate my programs individually.

Sudo apt update
Sudo apt upgrade
Voilà
I think they meant they're not a fan of Windows and having to update those programs individually...

Back when I used Windows I used PatchMyPC and made it add a daily task.
