Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)
Write what you want others to read, I don’t care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)
They expect the special operation to take only a month.
Developers mysteriously pushed
throughto Windows.That’s also US controlled.
I guest some sort of custom BSD?
Is anyone using BSD as a desktop by the way? Ive only been focusing on Linux.
Very few
Honestly I don’t see much point in BSD. Weak licensing and the BSDs are all different. Wayland and systemd are probably nails in the coffin as neither of them will ever work on BSD.
systemd maybe, but people are already running Wayland on FreeBSD and OpenBSD
Go for it. That’s one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).
A national fork? In Russia?
Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
It would be “interesting” at best.
Ok, that was always allowed!
I wonder what they’ll call it. Will they keep the “Linux” name?
Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.
Sputnix.
BRICS Linux.
BRINUCS
regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.
Removed by mod
Oh man I fucking called this one, as soon as I read that article a few days ago saying that the Russian maintainers were removed from the kernel, I’m like man if Russia was smart right now they would do a country-funded version, this is completely legal as well under the licensing of the current kernel.
It will last a month before they realize it is really dumb
In Russia, Linux forks you!
I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.
A legitimate hard fork doesn’t seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know…
“I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Rus/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Russian Federation plus GNU plus Linux minus Linus.”
Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.
This will only show the idiots over at Western governments that FOSS is hurr durr bad, lets Ruskies evade sanctions
