If it doesn't run Windows, is it really a PC?
- jlokier 3y agoPCs and Windows are not synonymous. PCs didn't start running Windows until they were nearly 10 years old, and then Windows was just an option. Shortly after Windows became popular, Linux emerged too and some people were running Linux on their PCs instead. There have been many other OSes on PCs over the years. I've owned and used many PCs, yet hardly ever needed to use Windows. Even when I developed software that ran in Windows, including games, I used Linux to do the development :)
