switching to linux right now

I can though
or at least I could 2 years ago
I dont know if it still works

No one disputes that GNU/Linux is fucking terrible and an irremediable piece of shit but it's the least shitty option available.

why do people call it ganoo slash linux or linux anyway?
the OS is called GNU, literally every other operating system under the sun is called "thing", and not "thing/kernel" or "kernel"
android isnt called lunix or android/lunix, windows isnt called windows/nt or nt, and fagOS isnt called faggot/xnu or xnu
do you just hate GNU for no reason?
do you hate freedom and want to demonize GNU by not mentioning it at all?
seriously, stallman should have corrected everyone to call his operating system "GNU" instead of GNU/Linux.

historically, operating systems and their kernels had the same name, unixs binary is /unix, same goes for bsd (/bsd, /netbsd, etc), msdos has MSDOS.SYS, linux comes from the era.
and GNU wasn't only on linux, GNU existed 10 years before linux was existed, people on BSD and solaris used to use bash and gcc, so calling something GNU would be vague (are you running a linux kernel, are you using it with BSD, are you running HURD) and so it is much better to call it linux or GNU/Linux rather than GNU.

>implying macOS didnt steal Darwin/XNU
>implying Darwin didnt steal BSD/BSD
but eh, that makes sense, but GNU is an operating system, not just a suite of programs
its like saying "i use windows because i run microshaft vscope on lunix"

League of legends has literal malware. It scans open processes memory, and it will close the game if you are searching for "cheat engine" in a search engine in your web browser. Imagine wanting to play a shitty game so much that you willfully install such spyware.

 10069

>>10061
LMAO, how does this even fucking work, is winkike really so insecure?
no wonder it refuses to work on GNU, GNU doesnt allow such dystopian malware to freely do whatever it wants to do without root access

 10070

>>10069
Yeah thats the main reason these anti cheat games dont work on gnu/linux. They scan other processes, and that obviously doesn't work in the same way.

 10072

>>10070
"anticheat" is literal malware
>B-BUT ITS OKAY BECAUSE BIG COMPANIES ARE DOING IT OR SOMETHING
if i found a company does this mean i can spy on you all i want and you will let me sell your data without question?

an operating system IS a suite of programs, maybe some of them are low level like glibc and gcc, but they are till just programs (or libraries to help programs) see pic2
>its like saying "i use windows because i run microshaft vscope on lunix"
well, an IDE isn't a low level tool.
I'd say systemd is pretty close to being an operating system, they have an audio server, display server, and a "suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system" (systemd), freedesktop.org/linux anyone?

wrong. GNU is a vendor that provides software for Linux and other UNIX*-like operating systems (BSD, Hurd, OS X, etc.)

*UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group.

That's because we LinuxKINGS prefer to play DOTA.

Fine I'll refer to myself as a LinuxKnight or LinuxBarb or whatever instead. That or maybe I should start getting back into archery again and be le LoonuxARCHER, granted that's a silly reason to do something I enjoyed anyway, I just haven't had the time to in the past couple of months but most of those manners are dealt with now so I should definitely hit up my local range this week.

Libraries =/= Operating System
Application Software =/= Operating System
Your OS will not exist after you remove the kernel. Just because there is no dependency chain set up for the kernel doesn't mean that everything doesnt depend on it.

especially that part

that's merely another reason to use it
