Linux

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.

Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

Don't worry, I'm sure those statistics are just "bait" and it's actually 99%

What? It's 6.3%+. We don't know the precise amount due to the high amount of "unknowns", but 6.3% is the minimum assuming zero of the "unknown" configurations are Linux, which seems unlikely.

Then on mobile, Linux has 72%.

So it has far more traction when the "bait" things I mentioned don't apply? Fuck, who'd have thought?

You can strawman all you want, the market share is 72%. End of discussion. "Nooo but that doesn't countttt" isn't an argument.

Vehemently defending it by saying nothing positive about it. The only reason I kept talking is because you were such a fuckwit in your reply.

You've been defending indirectly. We get it, you use Windows btw. Nobody cares.

You don't think there's some kind of clue in the post when I wished it was in a better state?

You spread misinformation and flew into a frenzied rage lol. You don't want it to be in a better state, you just came here to post bait.

Oh, I get it now. You just find tiny threads and pull them as melodramatically as you can. It's a hallmark of manipulative partners and untreated BPD that I should he seen sooner.

Minor criticism is turned into "this person must be a troll trying to bait us into anger" and even something you yourself described as "defending indirectly" became "vehemently defending" and of course I was in a "frenzied rage", probably because I used the word "fuck".

Then if that doesn't work, resort to the usual lazy tricks. Take figurative speech literally, accuse people of logical fallacies that don't apply, do a little bit of mind reading and then declare yourself the winner.

If I was actually a troll, I couldn't have asked for a better reaction. You're the worst ambassador for Linux I've ever seen.

I'm not your partner, though you probably wish I was.

You got angry and butthurt, started spreading misinformation and bait.

I'm not trying to convert you to Linux. Nobody cares whether you use it or not. Stick to your broken, complicated, and unstable OS.

I must be really interesting to talk to considering you won't stop begging for my attention. Is that what this is? You've already alluded to me being like a partner. I'm not your partner and I don't want to fuck you. Go use Tinder or something.

I genuinely can't tell if you're autistic, have abysmal reading comprehension or are pretending to be stupid but either way, I'm not engaging further.

Oh no. Please come back. I'm begging you. I can change. 🥱
