#670608 — Linux advocacy

Fromvallor <vallor@cultnix.org>
Date2024-09-23 23:42 +0000
SubjectLinux advocacy
Message-ID<llecmiFnttdU2@mid.individual.net>
Seems like there isn't much Linux advocacy going on.[*]

Maybe that's because, Linux just works, so much so that
it's even a bit boring.

Of course, there are those who look for trouble.  I rather
wouldn't say much about them...

[*] Except Feeb, who is just there to make Linux advocates
look bad.

My advocacy is pretty simple:  there isn't another option.  You have
macOS and Windows, neither of which are worth shit, or you have pure
Unix of some kind, and Linux is the leader in that.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

Redox, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, QubesOS and Hurd for example. OK, for Hurd it's
not yet ready. It will be. Soon. I hear it since thirty years it's
almost ready. So, one day it'll become true. Maybe. But if Redox is not
yet fully ready, it's far younger. QubesOS, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are well
proven ready.

So, what? If the only choice is the leader, then the leader is Windows
and the only choice. Your argument is plain wrong because you are using
exactly what Windows users are using against Linux. You can't say the
argument is good towards Linux and wrong toward Windows. You have to
chose. And the only possibility is to refuse it.

The only argument is to don't care about what others are doing or whose
the leader is or whatever only followers unable to know what they want
can use. You chose what suits you best. And Linux is not the only
choice.

Windows accounts for maybe only 25% of the computing market now. Most of 
the rest is Linux.

I'm suggesting that BSD isn't really that distinct from Linux.

The code base is hugely different, but to users I would expect they are 
very very similar.

A fairly unbiased discussion here:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/explaining-bsd/

Section 4.7. Which should I use, BSD or Linux? is handy.

BSD has a hugely better license I think.

BSD doesn't have a point-click installer, as far as I know.  It looks 
tedious to do a BSD install the first time.

It’s distinct enough that they need to add a Linux-compatibility layer to 
try to get Linux binaries to run.

To make it worse, the BSDs are about as distinct from each other as they 
are from Linux. This even though they cover a smaller range of uses.

Indeed, it has done well as the convergence OS for digital appliances.

Personally, I've just picked up some new home automation devices 
(product line is "YoLink") which probably have the Linux kernel inside.

I'm planning on doing a factory reset to start fresh on one of the more 
complicated ones .. in talking with their tech support, it seems that 
there's a lot of extra goodies baked into the hardware device that's not 
reflected the same on their mobile App, which might be the source of my 
initial setup glitches.

In any event, my preference is to drive its programming controls fully 
through the mobile App, and use the "push the buttons" programming on 
the device only if it doesn't behave as the documentation says its 
supposed to.

In semi-related news, found that a recently arrived neighbor has some 
skills with Raspberry Pi, such as having reflashed his Wyze WiFi cameras 
to break them off of their network ($$) to run them locally.

If they have Linux (or any other GPL code), then they are obliged to have 
contact details (e.g. links on a website) as to where you can get the 
source code.

While I was looking up info on my TP-Link router, I was quite pleased to 
see they had a note on their website as to whom you could contact if you 
felt they were not living up to their GPL obligations.

I really don't care all that much about what OS is in such appliances, 
but named what it was, so that the hardcore fanboys can go run & check.

We have the "NAV" package in our Subaru Ascent, and in
the menus it includes licenses -- including the GPL, for
one of the libraries it uses (JPEG, iirc).

You not?  I mean, shit, I was replying to someone who was talking crap
to you, and you took the opportunity to attack me and defend them,
just weird.  And then when I flame you in response, you throw out the
drug trope.  Just sad, how Caucasians, who aren't real n----s (yes, we
can be such, if we're not a dick), dwell in hell by default.  It's why
there's a theory of black supremacy, superficially it would seem
backward, but in truth, blacks are God-like and whites are Satan-like.
