Vitalik recommends Elon Musk use Linux open source operating system on new computer

Elon Musk complained that he could not install Microsoft's Windows operating system on his new laptop without using a Microsoft account. In response, Vitalik Buterin recommended that Musk join the desktop Linux community. It is reported that Linux, like Windows, iOS, and macOS, is an operating system. However, unlike most other operating systems, Linux is an open-source operating system. The Linux operating system was first released in September 1991 and has been popular among specific user groups for many years. Today, the popular mobile operating system Android is supported by the Linux operating system. The source code of open-source software is available for anyone to view, modify, and improve. When the source code of a computer program is available for programmers to view, they can enhance its functionality by adding new features or correcting faulty parts. Some users of the X platform praised Vitalik for promoting open-source software. However, others pointed out that Linux also has its own problems. Some people pointed out that Linux may not be Musk's best choice because he uses his PC primarily for gaming.
