This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Go go, ~~crablang~~ ~~nijigenerate~~ ~~redot~~ MotherRussiaOS!!!
Special mention to all the hateforks created due to "valid concerns over code of conducts potentially banning white men from contribution" - a friend of mine had to clean up a state project that used such a hate fork that got terribly left behind.
"Oh buzz, I would love to see you try.."
With blackjack and hookers?
Funny thing is, I was thinking about writing my own text editor that is not a web application running in chromium, and wanted to name it "Blackjack".
And vodka. Soooooo much vodka!
Their version of pre-natal vitamins.
Not sure if they’re aware, but the Balmer Peak occurs at a fairly specific BAC/intoxication level, and output quality drops off significantly after that point.
I'm pretty certain it also depends on the type of alcohol being drunk. If you're sipping expensive whiskey you start to decide that 8 GB of RAM is a lot.
That’s just standard in Russia
Please base russian linux on Hannah Montana linux.
Why not Red Star OS? They can take North Korean soldiers but not their software?
North Korea did this already. I expect that Russia's effort will be as good if not better. Bonus comedy points if they use NK's effort as a starting point.
But I wouldn't try to use it if my Internet location was outside Russia. Or maybe even if it wasn't.
Also: something something falling out something something Windows.
I'm not gonna use this shit regardless. Even if it remains the only option for an OS in Russia, I'm gonna fucking smuggle a proper Linux distro in.
It might be interesting to set up a Russia Linux box as a honeypot.
It will work just like every other Russian knock-off thing that gets made. Very shittily, and then end up in the bin.
Aren't they still also trying to make their own Steam? 🤣
It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up
Nah, it goes WAY back to pre-WW2. Russia basically made copying everyone else's technology a major economic driver for them for decades, and it was all based around trying to sucker poorer countries into buying their awful products.
Cameras, radios, cars, weapons. Hell they even stole NASA Space Shuttle designs and tech to build their own, which just ended up in a junkyard.
And the Buran system was more impressive than the shuttle, capable of completely automated flight!
The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.
Russian government officials trying to get away from windows, eh?

It depends what they want to do. They can fork and take on the burden of maintaining the whole tree in which case good luck with that, linux is too much of a fire hose to enable a 3rd party to assemble something similar making different choices about what they merge. Otherwise they can maintain a re-based fork that tracks the Torvalds tree and then congratulations you've just invented a feature tree that can do contribution with extra steps.
So Lada quality. Got it.
A special forking operation will be underway. The new kernel will be complete in just a few days, like the inva- er... denazification of Kyi- er.. Kiev.
E: lol, fuck off to the frontline and die for mother Ruzzia, tankies
They're just jumping the newscycle for the propaganda machine. Russian government doesn't care about tech or linux unless it can help them deliver more bombs to Ukrainian babies and you don't need to fork the kernel for that.
When it fails I'm gonna laugh a lot.
I mean, they can just pull the current kernel, add a few patches and say it's their kernel.
Let's be honest, cold war brought the space race, if this war brings the "year of Linux" race I'm not going to complain
Astra (used in MIC) is outdated shit, RED OS (more commercial) is cooler and wine'd in a lot of our windows-oriented apps, but both would have a hard time without international community if threatened.
That's just some figureheads shitting with their mouths. There are millions of machines still running Windows with no way to change without a pushback from users and admins, and also some Linux machines that would only suffer if we branch out.
