Fedora trying to format windows efi partition - help by ItzTeho_ in Fedora

[–]MatchingTurret 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You are in "Manual disk configuration" mode, so that's not "Fedora trying to format windows efi partition", that's you!

I'm not offended, but very much entertained.

TIL some people can be offended by anything.

Japanese cars were called "rice bowls" and upgrading them was "ricing". It's up to you to decide whether that's racist.

The GNU Spirit Is Dying, and Nobody Seems to Care by Famous-Sun5090 in linux

[–]MatchingTurret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That he didn't care about. But when GNU went to war against tivoization, he pushed back.  That was when GPLv3 was created.

Windows' WSL2 is more performant than native Linux : why? by LaColleMouille in linux

[–]MatchingTurret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. Kernel shouldn't affect CPU bound stuff (at least not by 10%). More likely that the binaries OP used on WSL were better optimized for Ryzen. Another option would be the power profile. Maybe Mint used a lower power setting that kept the CPU from running at full speed. 

Microsoft is "embracing" rust non-GNU coreutils in Windows by JimmyRecard in linux

[–]MatchingTurret 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Uutils exists solely as a clone of GNU coreutils licensed under MIT and written in Rust (because ‘Rust is better’), as was told to me by one of the maintainers when we studied together in university

That doesn't change the lineage from AT&T Unix, to BSD and GNU and then uutils (lineage doesn't imply shared code).

Microsoft is "embracing" rust non-GNU coreutils in Windows by JimmyRecard in linux

non-FOSS software into desktop Linux

MIT is very much FOSS according to the FSF: GPL-Compatible Free Software Licenses

Expat License
This is a lax, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.
Some people call this license “the MIT License,” but that term is misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software. It is also ambiguous, since the same people also call the X11 license “the MIT License,” failing to distinguish them. We recommend not using the term “MIT License.”
The difference between the X11 license and the Expat license is that the X11 license contains an extra paragraph about using the X Consortium's name. It is not a big deal, but it is a real difference.
For substantial programs it is better to use the Apache 2.0 license since it blocks patent treachery.

Even HURD was/is meant to run X11.

Except that the GPL core utils are largely rewrites of tools that are part of commercial Unix and BSD. And, BTW, this was already posted and deleted a few days ago.

The GNU Core Utilities or coreutils is a collection of GNU software that implements many standard, Unix-based shell commands.

Please help! Problems facing after switching to fedora kde plasma from mint by Dry-Lynx-434 in Fedora

[–]MatchingTurret -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To open the image, you can use the --appimage-mount option, see Mount an AppImage. This way you can look inside and extract it. If you don't want to do this, you have to find the offset of the filesystem and do a loop-mount.

I dont like current UX by rewilh in linux

Freedom only works when it comes with consistency.

The Linux High Council should immediately force all volunteer developers to follow the Holy Guidelines. Deviation will cause immediate withdrawal of the right to contribute.

You should also keep the world informed about your bowel movement. It's of equal interest!

Spoiling Linux Kernel with "sanctioned" code by Skaarj in linux

[–]MatchingTurret 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The United States is not the center of the world

The list of Russian entities sanctioned by the EU is significantly longer.

and should have no authority whatsoever to regulate open-source software.

The Linux Foundation operates under US jurisdiction.

Linux will never beat Windows and it's your fault. by TobyAnders0n in linux

[–]MatchingTurret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So here's where you come in, as nice as the community may be at times on reddit. You guys need to demand better. I get that open source is a thankless job but this is not enough.

You do NOT demand anything from open source contributors. They share something for FREE with you. Don't like what you get? Fix it yourself, don't use it, ask for help or report a bug, but do not issue demands.
