This is me but without the girl
this is me but i donโt care about linux
...What youโre refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as Iโve 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 machineโs 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!
As I make my way through terrible news stories on Lemmy, this is the first thing to make me laugh out loud. Both because I understand the pedantry and because I spent so much of my life wishing I had a gf.
Source?
It's called System Engineer (aka SE). It's not hentai, so don't get your hopes up :)
I was that guy, but I gave up and just call it Linux, since there's really no other name you can call it at that point. GNU/Linux is as correct as Systemd/Linux or Electron/Linux (for these quite a few VScode/Spotify/Discord/Other Electron app enjoyers).
I used to think like that, but now I'm on the fence since I've started working much more closely with packaging. Calling it "linux" is actually kind of harmful for adoption. Devs that claim their software works on Linux mislead people into thinking it works on any Linux distro, which is rarely true. Most of the time, those devs only test on Ubuntu and no other distro.
Maybe when Snaps finally die out and Flatpak emerges as the one true standard for desktop apps, then that problem will go away once and for all. Until then, I think we should normalize distinguishing Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc as separate "operating systems" instead of "distros", which is an unnecessary and misleading term anyways.
just โlinuxโ in daily public speech is definitely the way to go branding-wise. no random pedestrian is gonna know what youโre talking about if you say GNU or Kubuntu or whatever (and they probably wonโt know โLinuxโ either, but the chance is marginally higher)
sudo touch gf
sudo finger
Create a blank GF out of thin air? Sure, if you say so.
gf not GF, what is this Windows??
GZ, you just created a file! But it is empty ๐
...and you just gzipped it.
Keep them forever young
sudo pat gf
What's the point of having multitasking abilities if you don't use them?
As a human, you don't. You just task switch and end up doing both tasks poorly.
Jokes on you. Even when I focus on one task at a time I do it poorly.
What is this from?
The manga? It's called System Engineer, also known as SE.
The meme, I don't know. I just found it in my downloads directory.
