Windows Is a Rootkit
Where did Dave Plummer obtain the information about Linux having a "closed source binary blob" created by Linus Torvalds? 🤔 Windows is a rootkit No, Windows is a closed-source operating system loved by millions. Linux is an open-source operating system which includes a binary blob from Linus Torvalds built into EVERY release that ONLY he has the source code for. Pick your poison. They're both closed, one just has the illusion of transparency.
A social media post asks where Dave Plummer got the claim that Linux contains a closed-source binary blob created by Linus Torvalds. A comment jokingly calls Windows a rootkit, while the reply argues that both Windows and Linux are closed in different ways, with Linux merely appearing more transparent. The meme is used in arguments about open-source software, operating systems, and the limits of ideological purity.
