    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Hannah Montana/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Hannah Montana plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Hannah Montana system made useful by the Hannah Montana splashscreen, jailbait wallpaper and vital Disney branding comprising a full OS as defined by 2000’s teenagers. Many computer users run a modified version of the Hannah Montana system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Hannah Montana which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Hannah Montana system, developed by Miley Cyrus. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a pink operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Hannah Montana operating system: the whole system is basically Hannah Montana with Linux added, or Hannah Montana/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of Hannah Montana/Linux.

      There’s also PonyOS (https://www.ponyos.org/) They wrote their own kernel, so it’s not Linux, but it is Unix-like.

          If you scroll all the way to the bottom you can see it’s a fork of a different from-scratch OS.

          PonyOS is based on ToaruOS, which is free software released under the terms of the NCSA/University of Illinois license.

          Still impressive though.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
  • Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
  • Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like “every user of thing”.
  • Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

 

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t remove France.
