Why? He owns 1.3% of Microsoft shares, and isn’t even on the board anymore. I use redhat/centos at work and it’s fucking garbage usability-wise. When you have to do shit like type “setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1” into the terminal to get something to work, and it’s not documented anywhere besides some random forum, something is wrong

Like hell, pretty sure vaccine users will be eligible for free software upgrades of office suite and windows in the future.

Normies should use Mint with the box checked for non-open source shit so you can actually do stuff.

>GNU/LINUX
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

Linux is a /g/ meme and I wasted a year ok that crap.
Other operating systems are fancy sports cars. You get in and you drove away.
Linux is a fucking scrapyard and you spend an eternity just to make it work and best case you have a rusty wreck that wobbles away and is nowhere near road legal aka usable.

Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?

Thanks for listening.

on that*

you drive*

>No, Richard, it's 'Linux'
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Didn’t the Linux project get woke, that’s probably why it’s still garbage after this many years

Moron. The open source community has been taken over by corporations. Where do you think all of these "Code of Conduct" requirements came from? Corporate HR departments. Open source is now firmly under the control of large corporations who have replaced the original creators and maintainer of open source projects with the diversity freaks their HR departments forced them to hire. Linux is converged, as is every other open source project in wide use.

I am convinced it's by design. They like knowing stuff like this so they can show people they know it.

There's no reason for it to have the learning curve that it does and unless you are in a computer science faculty you won't have the time to learn it.

But muh games

selinux sucks.

What can you do with a Linux distro that you can't with Windows, from a professional individual standpoint?

Now that Windows has Linux built in, not much.

>endlessly writing random shit on the terminal just to make it work
dropped

Can I play Battlefield 1, HOI4, War Thunder, and all of my other Steam games on Linux?

H-how about m-mac?

>muh Christian distro
The only bit of fun loonix tards has had in the last 40 years.

?

>actually do stuff
>has never tried making music on linux

the sheer number of porn-addicted, turned-tranny contributors galvanized the leadership into sjw nonsense.
though i think linux is great as far as 100% free shit goes. it's just that you can pay a little bit and get a far better experience elsewhere.

Hide.

You wish you could play Serious Sam 3 right now

That OS literally gave me schizophrenia

They added a Linux kernel vm alongside Win10. Have you been under a rock

As a CS graduate, seeing all these baseless comments against GNU/Linux is really making me seethe. Enjoy your proprietary software you fucking brainlets

This. They will actually make sure you can have your room filled with cameras, neural sensors, and electromagnetic wave emitters. All for free!

So is that like similar to Wine on Linux?

>why yes, rather sell your soul to the (copy)left
GNUtards should all be shot.
Gimme dem Copy free stuff.

Thanks, will do.
It JUST. WERKS.

60% of GNU/Linx hate is satire, while most of the remainder is ignorance. There's maybe a pinch of reality in it all.

Well, can I play them on Linux? I hear Manjaro is good for gaming

>60% of GNU/Linx hate is satire, while most of the remainder is ignorance. There's maybe a pinch of reality in it all.
On /g/, yes.
In the real world people actually want to use their computers.

there's A LOT of unix/linux oriented stacks in programming and especially scientific domains.
so basically depending on where you work or what you want to work on, you're far better off getting familiarized with all the bullshit of linux than being relaxed and at ease with windows.
