@lightweightI had to try configuring a Windows box to develop ESP32 code on, and restore my code backup onto it. Bloody hell. Needs a new driver for every damn USB serial device, Windows SDKs lag behind badly, I needed 3 different shells to install all the bits, and it couldn't read my USB sticks. Total disaster zone. How do people manage?@thelinuxEXP

@vik @lightweight @thelinuxEXP Who needs USB drivers when WebUSB exists?(Though I've found that WebUSB in Chrome on Windows is a buggy mess compared to Linux. Okay, maybe I was trying to abuse parts of the USB spec to do things, but still…)

@lightweight @thelinuxEXPWhy exactly do you continue to spread the confusion by comparing a kernel with an OS?0. Software packing support has to do with package managers and has nothing to do with Linux.1. Linux is indeed usually gratis, but what's being shown is systemd/Linux distros.2. Linux isn't "open source", or free software - it contains proprietary malware. You need GNU Linux-libre for a free version of Linux.3. Seem to be demonstrating systemd/Linux distros.4. Yup Linux is very configurable in make menuconfig, but what's been shown here is DE's and nothing to do with Linux.5. Comparing systemd/Linux distros to windows huh? Also calling people crackers "hackers" huh?6. You're demonstrating GNU bash, but referring to it as "the Linux command line interface". What?WSL1 didn't have Linux in it, it had GNU though. WSL2 is a collection of systemd/Linux VM's.It seems that you're intentionally being wrong to confuse people.

@Suiseiseki @lightweight Oh please not that pedantry again. Yes, Linux is a kernel, and yes, everyone knows that when you make a video or article detailing what I talked about, I'm referring to Linux based OSes. I got 0 comments from people "confused" by this. I never do. People aren't confused by this, only purists take offense at this...

@Suiseiseki And, just to finish this, because there's no way I'm wasting any more time on that tired old argument, Linux can exist without GNU. GNU, without a kernel, serves no purpose.The major part is Linux, not GNU.

@thelinuxEXP >You assume malice when there's only simplification.Simplifications are acceptable when the simplification isn't very misleading.If you simplify anyway, knowing the selected simplification is very misleading, that is malice.>The GNU/Linux boat has sailed. No one will ever call it that apart from a few purists. What boat? I see lots of people making a mistake, but that's not enough to make me decide to start making the same mistake.>It confuses people specifically because they never heard about GNU.If they've never heard of GNU, then that's great - they can punch GNU into a search engine and find out what that means.If you're only ever heard of "Linux" and you hear of "GNU/Linux", you'll wonder what GNU is and look that up instead of becoming confused.>People understand what I'm talking about, and use the same shortcut, and context, to talk about Linux, whether as a kernel or an OS.As I've mentioned, people don't actually know what you're talking about.Linux was only ever a kernel, so I have no idea what "whether as a kernel or an OS." is meant to mean.>just to finish this,You've just managed to finish yourself.>Linux can exist without GNU.Aside from the fact that Linux would not have existed in its current state if it wasn't for the work that GNU did before Linux even existed.Linux working without GNU is a semi-recent thing, with Android and BusyBox/Linux being examples.Both Android and BusyBox really suck - as they don't have GNU.Even on BusyBox/Linux, it's very common to install GNU software>GNU, without a kernel, serves no purpose.Yes, but GNU has its own kernel, Hurd, which makes GNU/Hurd.Meanwhile, you don't get anything usable even with all the software provided here: https://git.kernel.orgAs proven here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/main.c#n1562 Linux serves no purpose without an init and other software that init launches.>The major part is Linux, not GNU.What metric do you use when it comes to "major part"?The thing is, even with Linux getting very bloated recently, it is still smaller than GNU.GNU and Linux are dwarfed by monstrosities like chromium mind you, so you would call it chromium if you really wanted to name it after the major part.I call it GNU/Linux, as that's a major differentiation as to what to actually expect from the OS.

the reason you don't get such comments is not that people aren't confused. they're so confused that they don't even know they're confused. they think it's actually reasonable to refer to an entire operating system that has its own name by the name of an unrelated kernel made to fit in with it, and that also runs underneath other unrelated operating systems. they think it's fair and desirable to make and spread that confusion. they're so confused that they even think those who point out the mistake are the ones in error, being too picky or some other excuse they make up to insist on the confusion. it's almost as if they wanted to be unfair to the system developed to fight for everyone's freedom, and to instead promote the narrative that's proud of not really caring about users' rights. unless the person undertaking such actions is drawing benefits from them, this would amount to shooting oneself in the feet, so if they're not confused, what does it make them?

people seem to be easily misled into behaving in self-defeating ways. this is hardly the only example. they're often misled into self-defeating beliefs about economics, politics, religion... why would software freedom be any different? despite the persistent attempts to spread confusion about GNU software's being something else, they can still tell clearly that bash is part of the GNU operating system rather than Linux; maybe you have that information from solid sources, and that's why you insist on trying to override and suppress it? but they're evidently confused as to whose side Linux is on, whose side GNU is on, and whose side they should be on for their own sake. it's not like those claiming it's not that important agree with that claim; if it was as they say, why would they consistently insist not only on claiming it doesn't matter, but converge on essentially the same misleading narrative and misrepresentation of facts? if it's not to confuse people into self-defeating behaviors, why would that be? if it doesn't matter, why do you seem to care so much about it one way and against the other?

Yes, Linux is Linux no matter what other software you use, but it's wrong to call things that aren't Linux, "Linux".>As long as it works most users won't actually care, and those that do will check first As detailed, just Linux will NOT work on its own.

@waifu I'm sorry, proprietary malware will never be better than free software, as at least free software always gives you freedom.Sometimes proprietary software can be technologically better than free software, but such will always be unusable, as such is nothing more than convenient malware.Even then, windows absolutely sucks technologically compared to GNU/Linux.

@Suiseiseki @waifu BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called " xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.Your son may try to install " lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

@MischievousTomato >funny that for linux to be successful on the mainstream world it requires the backing of a yuge companyThe kernel, Linux is already very "successful" in the "mainstream", as that's the kernel Android uses.But Android has not resulted in freedom.GNU is not interested in the slightest with popularity that comes at the cost of freedom.>Proper hardware support, but the way the kernel is kinda makes it hard. DKMS is fine but can break between kernels updates if something changes and the hw vendor doesn't update their driver fast enough.DKMS is not the standard way to do things. Vendors should submit their drivers to upstream and if they meet a minimum quality standard, the driver will be added.Linux contains many thousands of drivers, including generic ones, so hardware really would just work if hardware manufacturers intentionally didn't screw things up.>Linux also needs lots of UI/UX testing. there's always little bugs and usability nightmares around linux DEs/GUIs. Linux has nothing to do with the DE - stop making invalid statements.I use xfce4, which works just fine.@EllisDee >the only thing that would make linux more popular is proper graphics card support.I have no idea what you are trying to claim here.For intel integrated (aside the newest cancerous ones that need proprietary firmware), there's indeed an excellent driver.For AMD GPU's, there's the AMDGPU driver, which works better than any NT kernel graphics driver ever did, but that's sadly proprietary.There's also an older ATI driver, which at least tries to work without proprietary firmware and running such driver on some AMD GPU's works somewhat.For nvidia GPU's, there's the Nouveau driver, which works excellently for certain quite old nvidia GPU's. For any newer nvidia GPU's, nvidia has intentionally sabotaged Novueau, but of course you blame Linux.All of those drivers work with mesa, which provides an excellent openGL and Vulkan implementation that is much better than anything on windows.There's also some drivers for certain GPU's that are included inside Aarch64(?) SoC's and such drivers work acceptably - meanwhile windows can't even run on Aarch64 without relying on a JIT.Linux does indeed have proper graphics card support, despite all the proprietary sabotage.

@Suiseiseki OK, lets go… if I was to do a car analogy, “Linux” would be the engine and GNU plus the software that runs on it is the rest of the car Nope you fail the analogy game, you are focusing on parts not the ubiquitous whole, a “car” is the overall product as defined by popular use, you are describing an engine and part of the housing that makes a car.

@jase >Nope you fail the analogy game, you are focusing on parts not the ubiquitous whole, a “car” is the overall product as defined by popular use, you are describing an engine and part of the housing that makes a car. That is only needed should you choose to select a specify type of car. A “Car” may be internal combustion (Diesel, Petrol, LPG), Electric or Hybrid either way it is just a ‘Car’ despite how ‘fancy’, modern or out of date its components are. It is completely invalid to refer to Linux as type of Car, as a car has everything you need to take you from A to B.Linux does not operate at all by itself, so just Linux will NOT take you from A to B.>This is analogous to the popular nomenclature of “Linux” being a landscape covering all Linux+ (a choice of userland). Yes, it's popular to refer to a collection of software that also happens to includes the kernel, Linux as just "Linux", but just because lots of people make the mistake, that doesn't make it correct: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#somanyrightLinux will always be Linux no matter how many wrong people use it to name different software.>Its the same that when people discuss “BSD” a ‘landscape’ term that in general discussion may cover Free,Open,Net,Ghost or Midnight There are many BSDs, but if you were to select a BSD, you'll get a working OS.>Which is similar to ‘OS’ / Operating System covers Linux, BSD , Windows, MacOS and even GNUHurd (that’s the one for you, although honestly its not popular enough for popular nomenclature to do its thing yet – For something to be an *operating* system, it MUST operate on its own without anything extra, with just the named thing.If for some reason you were to download just *a* BSD, windows, macos, or GNU/Hurd, you would get an *operating* computer with just the named thing (although you'd arrive at a proprietary one unless you selected GNU/Hurd).If you just download Linux from https://kernel.org, you will not arrive at an *operating* computer.>I propose calling it ‘hURD’ – soft ‘h’ hard URD)Why are you already attempting to rename Hurd?

@jase Okay, I checked the Linux trademark, as it says: "For: computer operating system software to facilitate computer use and operation".It's really hard to tell what this is saying, but I guess it's saying that Linux is a kernel (as a kernel is part of the required computer operating system software) that facilitates computer use and operation (as in the kernel operating the computer hardware, thus allowing usage with other software).As I can see that: "Owner Name: TORVALDS, LINUS", as far as I can tell, it's a trademark violation to use the "Linux" trademark to name things that Linus didn't even take part in writing.

@jase Doing some more research, I see that you can *apply* for a royalty free usage of the Linux trademark for a name like; "Linux Mint [sic]" - but as far as I can tell, legally the Linux part is only allowed to refer to Linux and not the other software (which is referred to as "Mint"), despite how the naming can confuse people into thinking that there's a "Mint" version of "Linux".Sure the misuse of the trademark isn't enforced (rather encouraged), but as far as I can see, it's actually *illegal* to refer to GNU as "Linux".

@jase @Suiseiseki @thelinuxEXP Now... when it comes to trolling... This guy.Also. You both failed.Imagine India. One animal in India to be specific. Elephant.Indian Elephant is a Linux. The Saddle / Tower you put on your elephant is a + (userland / DE etc.).In the end people are riding Indian elephant. Some ride older, some newer but in the end - its an Indian Elephant. Not many people ride Indian elephants because Linux is a niche product.Everyone uses custom +. Some rich fellas have a throne made of diamonds and other expensive materials, others have a bamboo sticks for saddle.Now that's a proper Linux Elephant ANALogy... Maybe that's why every time I am searching for a Linux information on YouTube I find a video of a guy with a very interesting accent...Am I right or am I right? Because I think I am right... No need to thank me. Just go out there and spread Indian Elephant ANALogy...Cheers.Andrzej

@AndrzejL The problem with that analogy is that an Indian Elephant is far larger than the saddle and is perfectly capable of walking around without a saddle.If Linux is an elephant, then the saddle is many times larger than the elephant and also the elephant is dead without a saddle.
