Hello anons,
I have recently observed a phenomenon in the Linux world, that is, dare I say, quite interesting.
Two years ago, I moved to Fedora in hopes of getting a better, simpler developing experience for me as a future CS student. Somehow, I got it. Some weeks later, however, I woke up with my camera on. I simply reinstalled and tried browsing more "intelligently", so to speak.
Few months later, I notice a highly shared Ars Technica article that said a lot of good stuff about Fedora. I started noticing a lot of people shilling on 4chan and other sites for Fedora. "Seems like I might be one of those smart guys, eh?"
However, as a weird coincidence, Ubuntu started having issues. This means only one thing: Fedora will shine to the top.
This is CLEARLY a plot.
I moved to openSUSE Leap. Nice and comfy, best KDE experience. AppArmor, no NSA.

Red hat are friends with NSA, fedora is based on red hat.
Do the math.

Doesn't Linus use Fedora? Do you think he's compromised?
>>
>>59907107
Nah, Linus doesn't care.
You can google about Linus and NSA and you'll find some stuff like
>NSA asked Linus Torvalds to install backdoor in linux
Linus says he refused and I believe him. I don't think he has any interest in compromising his name and life work (if someone finds out...).

>>59907152
fuck...
I meant he doesn't care about NSA stuff, yes, he uses fedora for convenience.

I'm pretty sure he's a spook. Linus strikes me as the kinda guy who would sell you out just so that he could have a quieter happier life. He doesn't give a shit about (You).

Risk his life work (which I think he's attached to, for obvious reasons) to help government and then admit that NSA asked him to implement backdoor on medias, but lie and say he refused and live in fear that if someone will actually find something suspicious (behavior or in source code)?
That would be stupid...

And yet his open source kernel provided us with supercomputers, a wide range of embedded devices, sophisticated weather forecasting systems, stock market software and Android. Throwing all that away seems far fetched for him, even though he disagrees with Richard Stallman on the topic of free software vs open source software.

isn't linux 100% open source? how could there be a backdoor without people knowing?

Sadly these
>gorillion lines of C
>no one knows it all
It doesn't even need to be NSA backdoor, one line of bad code is enough.
