Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I think I saw someone complaining about this on KF but not sure
It's been mentioned on the (Infected) Open Source thread.

According to lunduke they were just censoring Distro Watch instead of Linux as a whole.
Yea I think this is poor reporting. Normally Lunduke is pretty good on this stuff (when he's not sucking Israel's dick), but there are examples of people saying it's not just DistroWatch links. Even if it was just DistroWatch links, that's still pretty bad. Faceebook has always been hostile to smaller websites, and has censored certain links in their messenger before. But if you go through some of the other reports, or hell even the comments on his video, this seems to affect a lot of Linux related links that aren't distrowatch. Others theorize it might be due to Linux ISO torrent downloads.

how gay and retarded debian is becoming
I've been using Debian continuously since like '07. It's like 4chan's /b/: it's always been gay and retarded, it's just that occasionally you find diamonds in the sewage. It is what it is in spite of what the Debian Foundation has been doing for quite some time. It took until Bookworm to make an exemption to their non-free bundling policy to bundle firmware. The reason you use Debian is because it's upstream of so much, and it's the premier non-profit alternative. You can get all of the benefits of Mint and Ubuntu while not being beholden to their own poor architectures.

Arch is its own kind of retarded. I was recently back on Debian after Arch. But now I've moved to Gentoo, and am having fun with Linux again. If you're familiar with Linux and don't mind learning a bit, Gentoo might be worth a shot.
 
Really disappointing how gay and retarded debian is becoming
Now you notice? For some reason fuck knows why, they have been shooting themselves in the foot for years now. Just issues after issues.
I jumped off the train when the keepass shit went down.
Gentoo might be worth a shot.
I agree. It is great for my VMs. Absolute solid uptime. Plus no whinging devs trying to be political activists. in my shit.
 
When I got into linux 8 years ago. the first shitstro I tried was debian and the liveboot was broken and the installer would error trying to install grub or something.
Shit fucking distro, ended up being a Linux Mint then Arch guy, btw.

Sounds like skill issue.
...or a broken installer. Many such cases. Could also be hardware incompatibility (which god knows has always plagued Linux). This is why when I find a distro I like I tend to stick with it. I've now been using Devuan for probably about seven years, blessedly free of Pottershite and troonery... now if the maintainer of the zfs packages would pull his head out of his ass so I don't have to build zfs myself that would be just dandy.
 
I was fresh from quitting wingod XP so I never understood what the error was, but years later I assumed it was a hardware or software error because debian is not bleeding edge, its a oldtroon stablebroken distro.
And Manjarolinux mint was arch + an installer that actually worked so it was over for debiancacas by that point and I became an archfag, btw, and we read the arch wiki every day and we approve of SystemD and Lennart Poetter, the boy who bloated, won.
Tjhank you for reading my blog post.
 
As far as Debian goes it's still miles better than Ubuntu. I used Ubuntu few times for longer period of time and every time things broke after updates and stayed broken until I gave up (and they have retarded default swap settings). Switched to Manjaro and things broke only once from updates and even then the next day the issue got fixed by update (or by checking the update notes on how to fix the issue). I suspect Manjaro is shit compared to plain Arch, so I'm planning to use it next time.
Due to reasons I'm currently using Debian (alternative was Shitbuntu). It's painful as it's a few years behind with software. But at least it doesn't break with updates as it's more or less only simple patches.
In short fuck Ubuntu.
 
As part of a good marketing strategy they do. Billions of people use social media, and the ability of being able to interact with those people is valuable. The site's algorithms will connect people who are potentially interested in the OS to it.

Linux distributions are collections of free software. What exactly are they marketing?

If they can't be known through merit, then they are not valuable IMO. The spread of a distribution certainly shouldn't be decided by who advertises the hardest. That's how you get RedHat. You don't want RedHat.

The first Linux I used was Slackware early on but someone else installed it for me because I was too dumb to do it myself at that point. The installation was seriously hairy at that time.

I'd installed Solaris previously, but amazingly, it was pretty easy to install a Sun-created OS on Sun hardware.
