I was so focused on the picture instead that I forgot about the title, lol. Time to interject for a moment.

Does RMS fit in the picture here? The founder of the fsf and GNU.

- gentoo: # configure the make file for Firefox, and emerge www-client/Firefox.
It should take a moment or two to install. /s

Technology@lemmy.world•Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choiceEnglish
1·1 day agoJust want to let you know from my canoebooted laptop that I run a 100% “free as in freedom” OS (trisquel GNU/Linux). Also you have convinced me about striving for a goal instead of doing it perfectly, which is not possible. Well said.

Linux@programming.dev•Now that Debian is embracing AI anyone have any anti-AI distro recommendations?English
2·1 day agoNetBSD is more portable than Linux and supports a lot of CPU architectures. OpenBSD is secure by default. I think the BSD’S have jails, which are better containers, but I do not know much about it.
For desktop daily use, it only matters if you really want that Unix taste.

1·1 day agoWhat about openBSD? I doubt the most secure OS would want llm code.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian developer Antoine Le Gonidec resigns after option allowing corporate LLM use without disclosure wins voteEnglish
1·2 days agoIs there another GPL OS instead? I am a fan of the GNU Hurd, but sadly I cannot run it on my hardware. The team of devs is really small, and it is amazing what they have done in all these years.
I love pkgsrc. Thought flatpak, snaps, and appimages solved fragmentation, well pkgsrc solved OS fragmentation across ALL UNIX-LIKE SYSTEMS. I want netBSD to keep working on their rumpkernels as well, so we run their drivers ON ANY OS.
(I wanted to put emphasis to show how amazing NetBSD is)
Synaptic is still around in Debian.
Synaptic is still on Debian lxqt for me. Synaptic is also installed on trisquel 12, which is what I am using also.

provectus@lemmy.mltoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•20 years ago things weren’t so shitEnglish
1·9 days agoI understand that you do not want to fiddle with a computer, I was once like that and that is what kept me from switching to any OS on my computer. I want to let you know as an experienced Linux user though that once you setup linux, you do not need to do any more fiddling. For the files and personal stuff, just back it up to an external hard drive. That is pretty much it. I could help you for free, but I do not really have somewhere to message anyone.

2·10 days agoIdk. People were trying to kick RMS out of the FSF. https://rms-open-letter.github.io/
He later apologized. I think he is crazy, but his contributions to what we have now are very important.

Linux@programming.dev•What Software Do You Use? INCLUDING OPERATING SYSTEMEnglish
4·10 days agoEach part of my system must do one thing and do it well.
Terminal: st
Shell: bash
Wm: DWM
Launcher: dmenu
Image viewer: sxiv
Browser: surf
Irc: weechat
RSS reader: newsraft
Messaging: signal
Password manager: pass
Video game: SuperTuxKart
Cad: blender
Text editor: vim
GNU/Linux distro: gentoo
File manager: GNU coreutils
Rule of thumb I adopted: If you never update arch, it will never break.

Linux@programming.dev•Orion Browser for Linux Officially Enters BetaEnglish
9·15 days agoIt is interesting because we are getting a popular web browser on Mac to gnulinux. I am not a big fan of it though because it is nonfree.
You can’t really decrappify browsers without first decrappifying the web.
I agree with this point a 100%. Wish something like Gemini would succeed (Gemini the protocol, not the google bot). The web is so bloated and “unprivate” if that is a word.
GNU screen I am assuming? Or is this ratpoison? Whatever this is, I am in love with it.
Edit: I see it is tmux. Why does the fastfetch show xfwm4?
And take a look at the platinum members

Who wants to buy his foot cheese? Anyone?
