  • 28 juli 2014What do you think about Linus Torvalds? I met Linus and his wife briefly at a party in 1999, and haven’t crossed paths since.

Lmao, that tldr is fucking GLORIOUS.

wheeldawg , in Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I tried it when the first one I tried didn’t work out.

Ctrl+C hard locked it instantly every time I pushed it. I could right-click and choose “Copy”, but pushing Ctrl-C just froze whatever image was on screen. No response at all after that. Plus it was giving me a headache trying to get Nvidia drivers installed.

So then I moved to Pop since the correct driver was baked in, and it’s been mostly smooth since.

I mean Android is not magic, but a huge step up from desktop Linux regarding security, minimalism, battery life, …

They also just use an LTS kernel, and I even found a Vulkan package.

The simple, core principle, security without compromises, is not hard, everythig is there.

And at the same time you can fix many of the Google issues, privacy invasiveness, design that sucks…

Fedora is good for people with some knowledge. Think RHEL admins or web developers.

olutukko ,

why would you need anymore knowledge with fedora than with mint or popos? it has simple and easy to use installer, and everything just works.

possiblylinux127 ,

You need to use the command line more often and occasionally something breaks

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

Both are equally important for the GNU/Linux world. Torvalds is more inclined to the “tech” side and Stallman is more like a “philosopher” the man who showed us the importance of free software.They are body and soul of the GNU/Linux. Long live to them.

fruitycoder , in Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I’m a big fan personally. I an experimenting more with OpenSUSE’s distro including microOS but that not because of Fedora but more so I want to recommend options that are easy to scale into FOSS professionally for people too and unfortunately RedHat no longer offers that path for Fedora users.

You can get the manga officially from here in its original form: www.aerialline.com/comics/ubunchu/

It’s licensed under CC-BY NC 3.0 and the author includes the original photoshop files if you want to edit them.

It’s pretty funny. I own a physical copy.

Awesome! Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Gutless2615 , in Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman

Stallman is an ass and particularly is an ass to women. Fuck that guy. There’s a reason everyone in tech has a Stallman horror story.

Nibodhika ,

People downvoting you have never met Stallman face to face.

MXX53 , (edited ) in Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I love Fedora. But, part of my day job is also managing linux servers. I tend to recommend things that I think are the easiest to get running. Although Fedora is super easy to get running (at least to me), I find the installation process of mint or pop os to be much easier overall. Between those two OSes, I have moved several people from windows to fulltime linux and I’m not entirely sure that the conversion would have been as successful with fedora and without more help from me during the install process.

LeroyJenkins , in Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman

(Linus leans back in his chair, a glint of amusement in his eyes, and gestures toward Richard Stallman who is seated across from him. Richard, ever the passionate advocate, is already gesturing with his hands.)

“Well, if you’re talking about the revolution in computing, you can’t forget about this fella right here, Mr. Stallman.”

(He gives Richard a playful nudge.)

“He’s the one who really gave us the framework, the ideals, the whole ‘free software’ movement.”

Richard, his eyes gleaming with conviction, jumps in.

“It’s not just about code, Linus. It’s about freedom, about users having control over their own technology. It’s about sharing, about building on each other’s work, and refusing to be locked in by proprietary systems.” (He leans forward, his voice gaining intensity.)

"We had to fight for that freedom, against the corporations who wanted to control every bit of software, every line of code. But we won, and GNU is proof that free software can not only work but thrive. "

Linus nods in agreement, a hint of respect in his voice.

“He’s right, you know. Without the GNU tools, without Richard’s vision, Linux wouldn’t be what it is today. It wouldn’t be as powerful, as flexible, as truly free.”

(He turns back to you, a mischievous glint in his eyes.)

“But don’t let them fool you, we weren’t always the best of friends. We had our disagreements, our battles over licensing, our philosophical differences. But hey, that’s part of the fun, isn’t it?”

(He grins, leaning back in his chair.)

“In the end, we were all working towards the same goal, a world where software is free for all to use, share, and improve. And that’s a goal worth fighting for, wouldn’t you say?”

mholiv ,

This reaks of chatgpt. All the way down to the milktoast ending.

Thomrade ,

It does completely. Also, its “Milquetoast”. Milktoast is just soggy bread.

mholiv ,

Ahh. Bone Apple Tea moment.

geneva_convenience ,

Omelette du fromage

toastal ,

Disappointed as I was hoping for some Richard Stallchan x Linus Torvaldsan fanfic

GameMuse , in Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have never touched Linux/GNU and I installed Linux after the Microsoft recall and when with standard workstation (GNOME) as a dual boot. After the first two weeks reinstalled fedora over top of windows and haven’t looked back.

That was 2 months ago and and having no issues even gaming on my machine works great.

NauticalNoodle , in Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

Back when I moved over to linux I wanted to get away from the mainstream. Fedora/Red Hat were too mainstream for me at the time but I have never had any real objections to it. I eventually ended up settling on Debian and ever since then i’ve stuck with descendants of that distro because having the same toolchains of software as Debian makes transitioning distros slightly easier.

erwan , in Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

Unfortunately boring distributions don’t get recommended because users of boring distributions don’t bother commenting on distribution discussions.

And it’s really unfortunate that obscure distributions have more vocal fans, because boring distributions are much better for beginners.

Blaiz0r ,

Ironically this is how I feel about Arch, for me it’s worked flawlessly for years.

I don’t bother getting in ‘discussions’ about using it, because if other people have problems I’m not going to convince them that I don’t.

EddoWagt ,

It’s mostly the installation and initial setup that’s a pain on arch, so definitely not a beginner distro, but very good nonetheless

Blaiz0r ,

Yeah totally, I think to use Arch successfully you need an opinion about what your system needs, and that takes experience with using Linux.

Installation is pretty trivial these days with the install script
