They’re also similar in that if you tell them you use Linux but like Canonical and/or Lennart Poettering they’ll yell at you and call you all sorts of names but if you tell them you’re a Windows user they’ll leave you alone

From my experience, those discussions only happen when Distros are compared.

When I’m talking to other Linux people, there has never been any competition, and as long as you are using Linux you are a bro.

I mean it's also socialist, with how it's developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It's one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.

It really isn’t. It is just a kernel

It’s not just a kernel, it’s a lifestyle.

For what it’s worth, I recall some turd at r/graphic_design swearing at Inkscape because it was “communist”

Linux Developers: “Here’s the thing, you’re not going to force all of us to learn Rust.”

This meme couldn’t be any more fucking accurate.

Lol. If Rust fans want a Rust kernel, no one is stopping them from building one.

It's hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I'm sure there's more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.

2025 would be the year of Linux, if we could finally agree, that:

  • Fedora,
  • rust,
  • systemd,
  • wayland,
  • pipewire,
  • gtk,
  • Gnome,
  • nano,
  • flatpak, and
  • light mode

is the perfect stack of technology and configuration and that we do not need anything else. But no, you guys just had to disagree, and here we are …

I want the kernel to be more rusty!

TheHobbyist ,

I’m with you all the way, really, except that, truly, KDE plasma and dark mode are the superior choices, obviously :)

Not to mention openSUSE Tumbleweed instead of Fedora :)

And Arch Linux instead of openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

And NixOS instead of Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

mogoh ,

You have just single handedly chased away some potential Linux users and prevented Year of the Linux Desktop 2024! Just with that comment! I hope you are happy now!

palordrolap ,

nano with the new, alternative "GUI editor standard" keybinds or the old pico ones?

tkk13909 ,

For most people yes. The only things I would say are more personal choices are nano, Gnome, and light mode

Vilian ,

Disagree on gnome and nano KDE and Micro supremacy

Fuck light mode

I beg to slightly differ, but it’s a good take overall:

  • Aeon Desktop or Fedora Silverblue, any sane immutable system, really
  • Zig + Rust + Scheme / Clojure
  • systemd,
  • wayland,
  • pipewire,
  • gtk,
  • Gnome,
  • nano / gedit / whatever y’all are using instead of glorious Emacs
  • flatpak,
  • distrobox
  • light mode
