They should also offer a Linux-free distribution, and a GNU free distribution, and a glibc free distribution.
Fuck it, let's make a cpu-free distribution whilst we're at it.
- casparvitch 3y agoSo sick of CPUs in Linux distros, the feature creep is insane!
- pgeorgi 3y agoAnd it's all a ploy by Big Silicon to subjugate software. As if software needs a CPU to run!
- self_awareness 3y agoEveryone should be free to download a copy of the source code, and interpret it in their own heads.
- SanchoPanda 3y agoYou would want special head gear in case of over heating, perhaps some kind of low soft felt hat with a curled brim and the crown creased lengthways.
- lproven 3y ago> They should also offer a Linux-free distribution, and a GNU free distribution, and a glibc free distribution. It's called FreeBSD. HTH. HAND. ;-) What? Well, it is! It's Linux-free, it has no systemd and no glibc, and no GPL code so it is de facto NU free. But it has a Linux emulator and can run Linux binaries. And there is Illumos, which can also run Linux binaries. If you don't need the Linux binaries part, there are also DragonflyBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. All FOSS, all current, all out there, working, with active communities.
- einpoklum 3y agoActually, are there companies which offer "corporate, RHEL/SLES-like support" for a BSD distribution, or FreeBSD particularly? That's also a niche I wish we could see.
