There are some really old introductory unix texts of how the system is structured and why, 99% of this stuff is still true for most linux (except some weird experimental alternatives where people tried to create ms-unix ). The basic terminal commands should also be useful, and help you understand. For example open a terminal and see the command for copy (cp) or (mv) or mkdir rm rmdir and use -h for the help of the options of each (if -h doesn’t work then --help does) and then extensive documentation is found by name of command after “man” for manual ex: man chmod

One of the most magical things that happens in unix is mount, where you create a directory (mount point /mnt), take a device like your usb stick volume named sdb1

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

ls -lah /mnt

say you create /tmp/disks and in it a b c d e and mount 5 disks in a through e and it appears as one subdirectory /tmp/disks

Instead of looking at a file browser and something going cling-clong and appearing as a volume, what dumb people do

I think you need to be banned you troll, you are nothing but a time waster offering nothing but characterizations in a rational discussion

The difference with a small group of devs writing code and offering it free and corporate thugs treating coders like sponges to produce code is the lack of resources can be understood and forgiven. Take a project like brave-nightly (browser fork of glugle-elechrom) there are 3-5-8 new releases a day, 8-6 Pacific US time, when they go home on Fri. the next release is Monday afternoon, the “free” coders usually begin work Friday night and end Monday at dawn!

Sure, corp.XYZ sends them an offer one day and buys their work and even offers them incentives to work for them, then it all goes down hill!

It ends up being as nasty racist and ethnocentric as kernel.org.com - us state dept fed and controlled

Don’t take me wrong, I hate Putin just as much as I hate Biden or Trump, don’t misinterpret what I say

But between hating Trump and discriminating against you because you are from Nebraska is the difference between a racist and a non-racist …
Something the linux-duo-Fins can not separate, hence their delirium with nationalist rhetoric and lack of historical understanding.

gittea is also a company now, forgejo is open and free, trully free

other than codeberg disroot has been running forgejo too I wouldn’t want to use anything but forgejo

if you have a rational argument please translate it, if you have run out respect the rest of the discussion and keep it in English

quick, quick, explain in one sentence whether the newb should go with musl of gliMBc … hurry … the screen is about to turn black and the installer will be gone

A beginner to what, to pacman, to arch, to rolling distro, to linux, to unix, to a PC, to using man-made tools …

I made an installation to an old pc once, I though it would last a while, and since the users could barely understand what an on/off button does, they just wanted google and facebook, so it was a wm with two browsers, daughter already knew what chrome was, and in the login shell I wrote a script that each new day it booted it attempted pacman -Suy --noconfirm then once a week the cache was emptied and the logs trimmed.

That was before covid, a couple months ago I met her, she said it has been working fine every since.

So there is your dinner

PS Actually it wasn’t arch it was artix with runit but that is about the same

Not all Mozilla is evil, there may be not so bad mozillas

This war was forced into Russia due to the blocking and surrounding it with NATO bases clearly against it, and by trying to block and substitute its primary exports to EU.

The violent overthrow of the then democratic government in Ukraine, the arming, training, and directing a Neo-Nazi para-military unit to take over, after forcing half the political parties in being illegal, had nothing to do with Russia. If there is someone underinformed, confused, and lacking historical facts it is not me, and better change your arrogant tone if you seriously want to discuss something and not just throw propaganda mud.

People are not under sanctions, and no linux developer worked for the Russian government, and since when has a war affected who works on what open source project. There are wars all over the place all the damn time …

I am not talking about the sanctions, I am talking about the additional remarks on how nationalist and racist both the leaders of the project appeared to be from their statements.

Linux

A few months ago (Oct 18 2024) Linus and his sidekick signing the kernel, not only admitted they were going to comply with US Stat.Dep. doctrine and remove developers (on long term good standing) on the basis of nationality and national origin of the employers, they exploded into a rant, clearly admitting to being nationalist and in distrorting history to fit their rhetoric. In greenwashing nationalism (you can say racism underlying this national hate speech) into the base of most open and free code, nationalism now is not free as in beer it is free as in “freedom”? This is as large of a difference as socialism and ethno-socialism.

The linux community … the end user … DOESN’T give a damn, only wants the latest and badest of development in his gaming machine.

Once you make a slip and slide exception you can’t prevent any more in the future. First will be “justified nationalism”, then “not so justified racism”, then “sexism”, then will be the gas chambers for anyone who forks anything away from Führera (Fedora + Führer).

If using any kernel later than 10 18 2024 I see it as the nationalist/racist fork. I expect the original to continue by developers who don’t use race/ethnicity/gender as a basis for accepting/rejecting contributors.

When you ask such a question within the circle making the decision you get a few defensive answers and then you get a storm of fan-boys/dogs defending their masters’ choice. Objectiveness tends to get lost in a discussion on who is asking and their mother.

So I thought of asking in a more neutral environment, and reddit r/linux is not it.
