@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com I won't even bother to reply something interesting, your mind is already broken, grow up, touch grass or whatever what do i care
@Wiz@waifu@romin@RA2lover@caronnov >spending hours compiling your own kernel is fine Compiling with a custom GNU Linux-libre .config takes 20 minutes on an old thinkpad.
If that's too long, you just download a precompiled kernel from the website.
>running a few powershell scripts to fix You need to run no scripts to limit the spying, as GNU/Linux-libre does not spy on you, which is time saved.
The scripts only work partially and temporarily anyway - soon comes along a proprietary forced update that adds more spyware and undoes changed settings.
@Cyrillic@lab.nyanide.com@waifu@mai.waifuism.life@RedTechEngineer@fedi.lowpassfilter.link I'd just wike to intewject fow a moment. What you'we wefewwing to as Winyux, ^-^ is in fact, GNyU/Winyux, ow whispers to self as I've recently taken to cawwing it, GNyU p-pwus Winyux. Winyux is nyot an opewating system unto itsewf, but wathew anyothew free componyent of a fuwwy functioning GNyU system made usefuw by the boops your nose GNyU cowewibs, sheww utiwities and vitaw system componyents comprising a fuww OS as d-defined by POSIX.
Many computew screams usews wun a modified vewsion of the boops your nose GNyU system evewy day, x3 without realizing it. runs away Thwough a peculiar turn of events, the boops your nose vewsion of GNyU which is widewy used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its usews awe nyot aware that it is b-b-basicawwy the boops your nose GNyU system, devewoped by the boops your nose GNyU Pwoject. Thewe weawwy x3 is a Winyux, ^-^ and these peopwe awe using it, but it is just a pawt of the boops your nose system they u-u-use.
Winux is the boops your nose kernel: the boops your nose pwogwam in the boops your nose system that a-a-awwocates the boops your nose machinye's wesouwces to the boops your nose othew programs that you wun. T-The kewnyew is an essentiaw pawt of an opewating system, but usewess by itsewf; it can onwy function in the boops your nose c-c-context of a compwete opewating system. Winyux is normally used in combinyation with the boops your nose GNyU opewating system: the boops your nose whole system is b-b-basicawwy GNyU with Winyux added, ow whispers to self G-GNyU/Winyux. aww >w< the boops your nose so-called “Winyux” distwibutions awe weawwy x3 distwibutions of G-GNyU/Winyux.
@Wiz@waifu@RedTechEngineer I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've 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 machine's 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.
@waifu@mai.waifuism.life lmao how do you even fuck up that badly? Install is like 20 minutes or less. Also, MS has a media creation tool that actually works.
