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.

Six Six Six, The kernel of the beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Boards blazed and reviewed codes were praised
As they start to try, hands held to the sky
In the night, the coffee is burning hot
The commit has begun, Linus work is done
This can't go on, I must inform the Hurd,
Can this monolith be real, or just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the GPL-2,
Seem to mesmerize, can't avoid Tivoization!
Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.
"to compile the kernel you must kill me, Linus Romero"
... I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
It's an old meme but it checks out. Older than some of the people in this community haha
For anyone that hasn't seen it, it's a reference to this satirical article from 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20030128011354/http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix.
Wow, that's a blast from the past! Completely forgot that LILO used to be a thing.
FreeBSD is now obsolete
Daemons Unleashed
Can't wait for someone extremely religious question if they should update to this cursed version.
Time to make the switch to TempleOS.
"Trinity Desktop will not function on this version of Linux"
We'll wait until 7.7.7 so all of the religious folk switch to linux
It's a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.
I mean, wifi drivers have to be made from demonic arts.
As printers
I don't even want to imagine printing over wifi drivers..
Damn!
I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.
I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong π.
Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.
Yay, happy hail Satan day everyone. I remember when Intel chickened out and rounded up their 666 megahertz pentium 3 processors to report as being 667 megahertz. Absolute cowards, no wonder China is kicking their ass.
I'm not installing this... Scary. Will wait for 6.6.7 in a few days. :)
I'm not gonna update to any other kernel
Is it time to start shit posting on myfacespace about the satanic computers running the world already?
Ubuntu Satanic Edition's favourite kernel.
Finally, our time has come
\m/
Wait, crap! I'm already on 6.7.0-rc4 v.v Not gonna accept a lower number just to hail Satan a little extra π€·ββοΈ
Besides, 6.7 might have something neat in it. I'm not weird, you're weird!

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
does this mean steve ballmer was right?
Oh wow I didn't realize he repeated 'developers, developers, ...' 666 times on that event.
I CAN FINALLY GO TO HELL! π₯
now we can merge the bsd source tree
"It's all for you daemon!"
π€LETS GOOOOOπ€
