>Gentoo includes installation recipes for a number of nonfree programs in its primary package system.
You know RMS despises anything nonfree. Right?
>>6790444
You're right. I don't even know why /g/ started putting the phrase Install Gentoo into RMS' mouth. It got blindly adopted everwhere.

Does anyone have a cool 4chan-ish wallpaper of this type?
>>6791898
Which type?

Been playing around with some filters and >>6795185 , maybe someone has use for it.

Recently pussied out and went back to Mint after several months of repeatedly breaking Arch installs.
Some day...

If this thread stays alive and i don't forget it you might get one for christmas, but the original guy kinda fucked up with his colours.
i can get you a layer separated template file for colouring. Though an imported .png would already be enoughâ„¢.

RMS saying Install Gentoo is definitely very wrong, but it also is a very good way to sum up /g/. Maybe the combo doesn't make sense in the real world, but I bet you anyone in the know would recognize it as a /g/ meme, as opposed to something cooked up by Stallman or Gentoo separately

GNU/Linux*
>>6818579
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
>>6818856
Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.
You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.
Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?
>>6818857
If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.
Thanks for listening.

y so mad tho senpai. Linux will always be Linux. GNU will always be GNU. GNU/Linux is the combination of both.
>>6817492
I am quite sure that at this point Linux is no. 1 kernel on mobile devices.
>>6819870
Android is not linux, ubuntuos which was a fucking fsilure like the desktop and console os is linux
>>6820061
So which kernel is Android using?
>>6820400
It's a "fork" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Linux_kernel

I love the GNU/Linux shit on this board. It's like watching people argue over whether cheese and crackers makes a single snack, or whether it's Cheese plus Crackers.

For the same reason that any board on this site does anything. The autism levels have peaked long, long ago. We've reached peak autism. Soon we'll run out, and we need to start looking for a renewable source of autism.
