And another thing: /g/ in particular is known for much pointless banter arguing over the best GNU+Linux distro or giving minor tech support to non-natives of /g/. Attempts have been made before to make something substantial on the board and this time it seems we can do it.

The list of (supposedly substantial) things /g/ has made as compiled by /g/, today [1], is as follows: 1. http://aloonix.neocities.org/ http://aloonix.neocities.org/ 2. https://github.com/notuncivil/host-as-image https://github.com/notuncivil/host-as-image [2] 3. https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch 4. https://4chan-x.just-believe.in/ https://4chan-x.just-believe.in/ 5. http://tox.im/ http://tox.im/ 6. http://biebian.sourceforge.net/ http://biebian.sourceforge.net/ The above list is in no particular order.

I also submitted a Show HN for it.

  I had forgotten about some of those. The various sites /g/ has put up are pretty good too.

    That list doesn't have http://logicalincrements.com/ http://logicalincrements.com/, which may be the best thing to come out of /g/. It's great for picking PC configurations.

  screenFetch was not a product of /g/. It was around before the Author even browsed /g/.

    Creator of screenFetch here. sF is not associated with /g/ in any way. I created the script before I even started browsing /g/ regularly.

>/g/ in particular is known for much pointless banter arguing over the best GNU+Linux distro You mean arguing about the second best GNU/Linus distro. Everyone knows the best distro is Gentoo.
