@Deebster ``1992 was the year of the Linux desktop.‘’

I’ll go with that…

@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace The details are faded in my mind now, but the release which brought the Unity UI was pretty derided.

@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace This headline is saying a lot given how many bad releases they have made.

@one_old_coder @moonpiedumplings The source distribution was #slackware the destination will be a successor of #guix ;)

EDIT: 😂 Please let me apologize. I read your question out of the context in which it was meant! I thought you were speaking in biblical terms. Still, food for thought…

@ISO @trevor Stability is both relative and a human (imperfect) guarantee.

@JackbyDev @underscores Yes we do, because it is an erosion of our freedom.

@Liketearsinrain @pglpm An init system is not a kitchen. There isn’t supposed to be a sink there in the first place.

@onlinepersona Search for an app called something along the lines of ‘IPcam’.

@Vocalize8711 @muusemuuse There is also #gnu_shepherd

@Sunshine Clicking shows you a screen on a passenger bus showing a grub prompt, having failed to boot. Hilarious.

@eah I’ll just wait for AgelessSexless Linux to come along…

@frizop @disorderly Anal cleaning products.

@dudesss guix deploy

Admittedly a mountainous cliff to get started if you haven’t used #Guix before, but once running, updating the system becomes a cinch.

@patrick @ruffsl Don’t lose sight of the fact that Github is actually Microslop, and they’ll do anything to keep their fingers in that pie.

@Maragato Ah I see, I was thinking of consumer businesses rather than producer businesses. In that case I would definitely opt for community-produced distros, every time.

@ItsMyVault101 @codeinabox Where we’re going, we won’t need computers.

@Maragato A business worth investing in would go for a wholesale distribution, like Debian or Slackware, rather than a retail one like Ubuntu or Red Hat. I don’t recognize the term ‘business distribution.’

@pressanykeynow @Corbin There is some python in the build infrastructure.

But this is the real reason for the push-back against Rust: it is something else that everybody involved has to learn, and that means diluting the extreme expertise in C that makes the kernel so good.

In a distant nirvana, there will be no C left, only Rust, and then all developers can really drill down on that.

@nyan @Gobbel2000 This, totally. But then if you are going to throw unconstrained machine learning in there you are going to run into hard-to-diagnose bugs.

@sam @asklemmy All the sensible people in the world.
