I was talking to my dad about my job and how people don’t know how to use Linux. He said “Yeah, nobody uses that UNIX stuff anymore.”

Then I pointed out that his phone and his computer both run flavors of UNIX, since he’s been using Apple products since I made him switch by not supporting his issues with Windows, and that most of the websites and apps he’s using are running Linux on the backend.

Ha, imagine an alternate universe where crowdstrike took down people’s refrigerators.

The ones that aren’t BSD-based, anyway, like for instance pfSense.

Or MacOS, or the PlayStation OS.

Huh, I don’t follow supercomputers very often. I didn’t realize in the last 10 years UNIX dropped off the map of supercomputers entirely in favor of Linux.

Pretty cool.

I worked in resales for super computers about 10 yrs ago. For x86 based designs we flogged red hat

it’s still mostly red hat even for arm, though Cray (who still supply a lot of machines here in the UK) ship a horribly butchered version of SLES

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux-

That’s the problem, though: a lot of it isn’t GNU, specifically because GNU stuff is GPLv3 and would thus stop the smart TV and IoT device makers from Tivoizing everything all to Hell. Most of that stuff is running bastardized Linux, not GNU/Linux!

Thank you Mr. Stallman!

There are a number of Linux distributions that do not have a GNU user space, so no.

A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components: Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…

Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.

Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.

If you don’t want to install Linux, You should install plan9

I am almost exclusively one of those Linux weirdos. The only non-Linux computer touching I do is for work. XD

Peasantry. My last 3 jobs were all chosen with the requirement I could run Linux
