2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Man, wait until these people hear about the filesystem and kernel.

    [–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 63 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    The very existence of a defined kernel is an insult to the Linux philosophy

    [–] psud@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

    The Linux kernel (the part that gives Linux the name) is antithetical to Linux philosophy? I could understand it being contrary to GNU philosophy

    hurd "exists"

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    That's GNU/Hurd thank you

    [–] Gork@lemm.ee 11 points 6 months ago

    yes mr stallman

    [–] radiant_bloom@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago (3 children)

    Does it ? I thought it was never completed !

    On the other hand, if you want a microkernel that does exist, there’s Mach. But I don’t think you can replace Linux with it 😆

    It's been two years away for the last 30 years.

    [–] psud@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, there's a Debian implementation of GNU/hurd. Debian recommend you run it in a VM

    [–] rmuk@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago

    I won't bother. Sounds like hurd work.

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

    Hurd is supposed to work with GNU mach afaik

    In some ways I think the filesystem is philosophically the exact opposite of systemd

    I can boot my system with an ext4 root, with a btrfs /home...or vice versa. Or add some ZFS, or whatever. The filesystem is (with the exception of some special backup schemes) largely independent of the rest of the system, despite being of core importance.

    On the other hand, I can't change my init system (i.e., systemd) without serious, serious work.
