Usage

tuxi "is linux better than windows"
Linux is very well secure as it is easy to
detect bugs and fix whereas Windows has a huge user
base, so it becomes a target of hackers to attack
windows system. Linux runs faster even with older hardware whereas
windows are slower compared to Linux.

How this work?

It simply use google search results. By using pup I scrape google search results and get cream information like answer of one word question or paragraph which google show on top. Sometimes Google give multiple cream information like one word results and other information on right In that case It show result of the basis of priority. I do scraping with pup and use some Unix tools like awk sed to do the magic.
