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.

Linux can't prevent you from permanently removing files. While in Windows it's a chore to remove a number of files/bloat, which are then most often back after a system update.
Some see this as a feature.
It's 100% a feature! Truly a horrendous approach to lock down a device someone purchased to the extent seen on Windows.
Why do you think Immutable Distros are all the rage these days? Beyond deleting shit, there's always Fucking Up shit.
Immutable Asahi will be a thing some day ;)
Is there atomic Asahi yet? I know I saw the Fedora release, so an Atomic Desktop probably isn't that far away. Or build it yourself! :)
There are some people in some stage of progress on a Fedora Atomic Asahi Remix
