/g/ — Why so silent, /g/?

Also don't forget the russians put a backdoor into SSH

I kept saying that wanting Linux to go mainstream was a shit idea but /g/ always went like
>WE _MUST_ REACH HIGHER MARKET SHARE!!
>but why?
>WE JUST MUST OKAY??
Now look where this got us. Literally anything goes to utter shit once it reaches actual mainstream. SteamOS sell signal.

both windows and linux can run executables. where did the "linux has no viruses" meme come from?

>where did the "linux has no viruses" meme come from?
From back when Windows was a single user OS that ran everything with admin permissions.

>>109048291
Amen.

Linux is the kernel.

I stated in 2022 we were living the golden age of Linux. Games now worked, but we were niche enough not to be too enshittified or centralized.
But what I did not foresee is LLMs and the hostile MIT takeover of our GPL software stacks. Free software had a good run. The future can only suck.

As others have pointed out, it is equivalent to cloning+building+running random github repos operated by unknown people.

Some Arch derivatives have AUR helpers in their normal repos, like EndeavourOS. Which is just one reason why I keep recommending before you use any such ez mode for Arch, you should at least set up Arch manually once.

what happend to AUR is a huge shit show. HOWEVER they always made a big point over it having zero check ups with every user being able to upload shit willy nilly, which is hopefully finally going to fucking change

I'm de-transitioning tomorrow. I only use one unaffected AUR package, but too close for comfort when I could just compile it directly from source on OpenSUSE and not even be tempted to use anything AUR again.

Don't forget to use a big ass magnet to fuck your hd data (to be safe), thrash your old hardware and buy a macbook, even better a chromebook, so all your data will be kept safe in a remote serverfarm.
