What I do here is analyzing the content of TheAnonymouseJoker’s posts. When I saw he say 98% Chinese people approve their government, it popped up in my brain today that TheAnonymouseJoker is separating disgusting “journalists” from a secure operating system. Then those “journalists” will get their device hacked by the Chinese government when they came to China. Is that right?

I might be in their room next month. But what they gain from kidnapping a 15 years old child from Viet Nam? I’m not Zhuge Liang. Reading Sun Tsu’s book and find out the reason why a joker jokes is not something special.

Just words of extreme nationalists.

Encrypted forms are not usable. Uncaught Error: TIMEOUT. I enabled WASM.

What have you used that’s worked well? Or, could I run Rufus on my linux machine with WINE?

A BLOODY STUPID IDEA!

Using Wine is just stupid enough.

dd is safe. I have used Balena’s Etcher 2 years ago but it seems the drive isn’t bootable in UEFI mode!

Also mean more commercial distros. Less donations to BSDs projects.

And it also increase the strength of Apple and Google, do you want to see that?

It requires any modifications to be under GPL.

And it also requires anything that incorporate GPL codes also be under GPL.

And the code must be published to the copyright holder as far as I know.

How it harms the end user are described.

(A)GPL restrict the modification of the software. I’m sharing an example how that restriction works.

Thank you.

Congratulations for not being in any team!

I’ve written more clearly that you must be a writer to join team 1 or 2. Keep going on your project, and ignore those who are fanatical and like to meddle in other people’s affairs, like the guys who want a project to refuse donations and contributions from some specific or all company.

Thanks.

Open source software has its source code published. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re able to copy some or all of it, modify it, distribute it, etc.

GPL as an example.

Free software can be freely copied, modified, distributed, etc

If you are citing the GNU’s website, you should remove the “modified”. I’d quote a mailing list user:

Say if OpenSSH was licenced under (A)GPL, companies would likely not use it because they wouldn’t be able to incorporate it into their IP, they would then try to code a shoddy implementation, and have numerous security bugs which would affect the end user. In other words, you are just shooting yourself in the foot.

pushing for a move from “Free” to “Open Source.”

Can you explain more? Is that related to the clown gpl guys criticizing BSD/MIT/ISC license and laugh on FreeBSD for letting Apple to do whatever I can’t remember?

I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft

Basically two teams (applied to anyone that are “speaking”, e.g writing propaganda blogs, comments, etc; they don’t necessary need to have all of this properties, and they may have both teams’ properties):

Pro microsoft, pro systemd, pro bsod, pro administrator, pro “security” (privsec.dev pro microsoft edge), pro ms office, pro wine, anti apple/mac, anti (a)gpl, pro .net, pro powershell, …

anti microsoft, anti windows culture, anti systemd, anti msedge, anti powershell & cmd, anti conio.h, anti bsd/mit/isc, anti company sponsorship …

Team 3: BSD: receive donation from every entities and work on their clean operating system and software they give everyone for free without restriction; FreeBSD has been looked down by the anti-company anti-apple anti-permissive-licenses clowns

Expressed by Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD): “Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. We do what we do because we love Unix.”

Join team 3!

And, you cannot make the world better by just destroy A company, Microsoft. You must destroy all of them, or don’t destroy any, because it can only make the existing company to compete more fierce, and because OpenBSD needs donation from Google, Microsoft, and Meta to keep working on OpenSSH and other great software those companies need! They don’t need clowns to look up nor look down them, like when those clown looks down FreeBSD because they received something from Apple that I cannot figure out what.

A garbage to run ads again. Everyone already knows the myths and they don’t need the same post to pop up every year.

Every year I upgrade to something better and found the past distros very disgusting.

6/2021: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint (for ~15 minutes), Kali Linux

2022: Ubuntu, Lubuntu, RHEL, Fedora (for some days), Arch

2023: Artix (for some days), Gentoo, Alpine (Alpine is the best distro I’ve ever seen), switched to OpenBSD in the end of the year!

2024: OpenBSD. Have a machine running FreeBSD but currently unplugged and haven’t learned anything from FreeBSD.

OpenBSD is so simple and I started reading man pages when I use it. I’m starting to learn tmux. Started to learn sed. Started writing some shell scripts. I can confirm I wasted time using all the distros above except Alpine. Except when I compile the linux kernel on Gentoo. I switched to OpenBSD without any problem. I quickly forgot the /dev/sda1 and learned disklabel. Not using vim without any problem, and I learned how to use vi efficiently.

OpenBSD is not too hard for any “newbies” that can read English. They can type “help” and it will open help(1). When they have read help(1) they will read afterboot(8). afterboot(8) is just comprehensive. It’s a pity that package management is about the end of this man page, but package management is just simple: pkg_add and pkg_delete package-name. They may read pkg_add(1) and pkg_delete(1) when they want to upgrade.

Default X11 window manager is fvwm. xterm is launched when X is started. You can move windows with mouse. Minimized windows also appear on the grey screen. But you have to double click much. This is usable. cwm is also available when you want a wm that can be used with a keyboard. It is much more efficient.

2025: plan 9 ???

Tell me about how you chose a specific distro because you thought the name was cool or because it ships with some completely unknown utility no one uses.

Alpine Linux: musl, minimal, fast

OpenBSD: correctness, simplicity, easy to use

my experience is that developers have largely made the Linux desktop experience so simple and stable that it works better than any windows machine I’ve used in the past decade

And their user needs blogs and posts from itsfoss, tecmint, … to instruct them how to use their package manager, even need people to teach them how to type in the search bar(?).

When they switch to BSDs they always complain about “lack of documentation” because they are not willing to read pkg_add(1) nor pkg(8) and they want documentations to give them the ability to copy pkg_add php-8.3.3 php-mysqli-8.3.3 maria mariadb-client mariadb-server.

Doing something as simple as installing Steam is an absolute nightmare.

Because Linux advocators does not expect you to learn yourselves. In 4% of desktops how many Linux enthusiastic (I mean people that can read man pages and figure out the problem themselves and willing to do programming) there are? I don’t think it reached 0.5%. And those people would soon switch to BSD, only some who believe in Linux decided to stay and write some great software that gained popularity (when writing this I’m thinking about sbctl but I have never used such software yet)

My point is that Linux devs don’t want a good user experience. They just assume that if you’re using Linux that you’re a software engineer and already know everything.

Wrong. Linux advocators hold your hand and teach you how to install some stuff on debian, how to install some stuff on ubuntu, fedora, how to install centos…

They already did things for you. You are not expected to do “harder” stuff (like programming, configure software with an editor).

But this statement is mostly correct for BSDs, except OpenBSD experience is better, since they have X by default (yeah, NetBSD have X but they don’t have SSL certificates in base until 10.0 which is not released; FreeBSD needs you to install X yourselves.). But the general experience on BSDs are much better since their users are much willing to read man pages, unlike “Linux users”.

Please explain to me how does this lead to Linux devs are mean

I don’t think. But the Linux advocators are very mean so that their user can’t figure out things themselves and always want people to help them.

and you need a CS degree to install a browser on Linux.

(the last paragraph is the main content)

YOU REALLY NEED!

If not, why there are so many post on bad quality websites like itsfoss, tecmint, etc… and they have to taught you to use your package manager! They have to a bunch of apt-get install EEEEEEEEEEEEE dnf install AAAAAAAAAA and sudo .... .... ......

(while I want apk, doas, …)

They expect Linux users to be a completely brainless person that will do everything they are told. Those Linux users learn things hardly with this background. So a CS degree is required.

Do you see that such Linux user always complain about “lack of documentation” when they “try” BSDs? Even FreeBSD (they have a forum)?? The documentation of programs and software doesn’t hold your hand and teach you on installing something. This effectively render such Linux user unusable, hang.
