From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you comment in a wrong thread?
Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.
They're referring to the photonix comments. Which are notorious, and serve as a great example of what happens when you don't moderate.
average Phoronix forum user unfortunately 💀
but Phoronix' journalism is good
(which is why I only read the articles through my RSS readers and never go on the site or associated forums)
And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?
The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn...
I don't see any racist comments at all... A bit confused tbh, there's just you and the other person explaining that LibreSSL seems abandoned.
Edit: The comments on Phoronix, now I get it
Vaguely? I went to look and (since I don't spend time in racist circles) comment #14 made my mouth actually open in surprise. It's not vague at all.
The comment is already removed now, but OP's post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there's no moderation.
Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn't helpful for anyone.
"akchually, there wasn't enough racist comments". One racist comment is too much.
OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I'm sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll's comment (and I guarantee you'll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!
You got some serious reading comprehension issues. I am talking about you.
LibreSSL was a fork afaik that is nowadays abandoned again afaik. I think something like that.
his community can get pretty toxic, predgidist (sp?!?) but also just hostile and combative.
“Prejudiced” is the word you are looking for.
There are quite a few they could've compared to. Now there's another one...
