I thought we all agreed that “immutable” is a confusing term and that we should call it “atomic”

Good for Nix! Horrible article though lmao

It’s the dilemma of any alternative space. People seeking alternatives don’t like the mainstream.

And with a bit of generalization, there’s two reasons not to like the mainstream:

1. The mainstream is too oppressive
2. The mainstream is not oppressive enough

I don’t think he had them all to begin with, but he lost the rest of his marbles. To be honest I think if he was a critical thinker and a bit more open-minded, he would have become an anarchist. But sadly he’s a Christian conservative.

Also as I’ve learned more about linux, I realize he’s wrong about most things there too 😂

if you want a paid version similar to pihole with a bit more control and insights I recommend a smart DNS service like Control D.

you are a real linux user don’t let some neckbeard tell you otherwise :P

lmao you joke but half this thread is exactly that opinion

finally, somebody in this thread who doesn’t live in the past.

System package manager is for system binaries. Not for applications.

sounds like a modern approach

IMO flatpaks are the future of installing linux apps. The comment you replied to lives in the past. System package manager should be for system binaries, not for applications.

got some examples of the woofs? I’m not doubting the claim just interested :D

It blows my mind that Linus is just so darn based all the time. That guy has a good take on like every issue.

eh the emacs folks are just chilling in a corner somewhere. Maybe in the old folks home together with the ed users

yeah but this isn’t newcomers making noise. This is seasoned devs making meaningful contributions, and getting reactionary responses

Nobody can maintan a fork of the linux kernel on their own or even with a team. It’s a HUGE task.

There already is rust in part of the linux kernel. It’s not a fork.

But I agree with your first statement, people are dumb as hell, me included lol

There is no “your” new rust kernel. There is a gigantic ship of Theseus that is the Linux kernel, and many parts of it are being rewritten, refactored, removed an added all the time by god knows how many different people. Some of those things will be done in rust.

Can we stop reacting to this the way conservatives react to gay people? Just let some rust exist. Nobody is forcing everyone to be gay, and nobody is forcing everybody to immediately abandon C and rewrite everything in rust.

Atomic distro users: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!

I’ve had most stuff look good with Plasma 6. But not perfect.

Last time I had openSUSE hibernation didn’t work. I am just convinced that the entire linux community is gaslighting me about hibernation lol

I’ve tried to get hibernation working on like 3 different distros. Followed tutorials exactly step by step. Never works.

Linux doesn’t do hibernation. Anybody who says otherwise is not living in the same universe as me.
