The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Is there any discussion on the forums/public MLs or did they just decide to add that on their own?
A few days ago someone gave instructions on r/debian for building Xlibre and managed to get more updoots than the people yelling "nazi", so I don't think it's as unpopular as some people would like you too believe... Time will tell, I guess. I imagine the internal discussions have much flinging of excrement.
 
Slackware is not currently supportive of XLibre: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/xlibre-xserver-4175751344/
Choosing to stick with Xorg for the time being.
Politics aside, they generally pick software based on technical merit (and ship a lot of old software that hard depends on X), wanting to stay as Unix like as possible (they refuse to ship systemd, it took them a very long time to adopt PulseAudio and PAM, and only did so when forced).
I know the Slackware guys generally aren't supportive of Wayland either, so may end up shipping XLibre in the future. Wait and see.

These two comments by Patrick Volkerding (leader of Slackware) himself stuck out to me:

Speaking of Debian, two Debian devs (or, rather, one Debian dev and one Canonical employee, AFAICT) tried to edit the Are We XLibre Yet? page with their opinions:

This is exactly what I was saying a week or so ago when I was talking about them really fucking up when they mentioned diy in the readme by name. He just gave all these weirdos fuel to use against the project. Just such a dumb move for the longevity of the project. I feel like anyone that doesn't understand what i'm saying. has to be a bit delusional about this.

And lunduke in particular made it worse. The only thing he really accomplished is setting the stage for making more videos about woke devs that won't work with the project for political reasons.

Debian is one of the many distros infected with the CoC plague. Safe to assume that CoC = faggot central. At this point vocal detraction of XLibre can also be used as a faggotry litmus test, considering that e.g. Void, Alpine and Chimer all have three things in common: they dislike XLibre, have a CoC and are run by trannies. Shocker!

In other new it looks like the guy porting XLibre to FreeBSD has managed to spin up a working version:

Shame that FreeBSD is among the infected. bhyve and jails look super cool.
 
Debian is one of the many distros infected with the CoC plague.
Having used Debian since 2.2, I really hate seeing the rot set in like it has.

It's been my preferred distro for more than two decades and every time I try to switch I end up coming back to what's "comfortable", but the endless faggotry and identity crap has become so incredibly grating. I wish I could see some future where Debian stops being infested with ideology bullshit but just like the Linux space as a whole I think we're beyond that possibility now.
 
So, if Debian, Void and Alpine are pozzed, what are other good options for Proxmox containers? Been thinking about redoing things a bit, maybe getting NextCloud running.

What is the name of the theme used here?

Not using a project for political reasons is always gay and retarded. Even its its my own political reasons. Some of those projects do actually have good use cases. And do what they are meant to do well. If software works well. I don't care who wrote it. It could be microsoft even. If they open-source it, and it's not selling my data or serving me ads.

I just see the mirror version of trannies saying "but they want me dead". It's the spiderman meme where they're pointing at each other.

I just don't like how it uses such an old kernel. I think Debian 12 still doesn't support Intel Arc GPUs

No clue, its from the guy developing the port posting on the forum.

Yeah no, I completely agree, all my computers are running Libreboot and I have Alpine on my seedbox, despite both being developed by loony troons. There's a good chance I will be running FreeBSD as well because I kinda cba dealing with OpenBSD's gimped Internet speeds. I was just lamenting the prevalence of "acceptable use policies", "codes of conduct" or other authoritarian power grab schemes. Because that's what it is at the end of the day, an attempt by trannies, corpo goons or other narcissists to exert control over a domain and philosophy that (should) explicitly reject it. Given choice between two similar systems, I would always choose the one less addled. Anyway, yeah, as long as they don't have heavy reliance on systemd or other malignant elements in their code, then its whatever.
 
do these even work well on linux? i was told these were essentially lacking all of their features and crashing constantly. great things on windows though, apparently.
It runs well enough for transcoding in Emby, and it handled playing games in a Steam docker image fine

there should be a meme of lunduke showing off openmandriva and saying "this is based"
and in the background are the 1000 dependencies and its just a bunch of tranny soyjaks

If Void has a CoC, they've hidden it so well I can't find it. The one troon on the dev team I know of is pretty quiet. Not rushing to package the latest hype that hasn't proven it has legs yet is common sense.

1. Run Testing until it becomes Stable for new hardware.
2. Run backports.

As I recall my A770 worked ok on Debian, but not in AI in Linux, so I gave it to a Windows only friend who didn't care about AI. Never tried transcoding since I don't ever transcode anything.
