>can't even get GNU/Linux right

I really feel like the writers for some of these ostensibly tech shows often know better but they deliberately write shit to piss people off.

>>544439

>Oh Ubuntu, you are my favorite linux based operating system

>Laughtrack

God, it is as bad as they say

>>544477

>autistic fuccboi says he loves Ubuntu, doesn't acknowledge GNU

Seems like they got it pretty right, fam.

>>544439

>Linux based

>Not GNU/Linux based

I guess he just prefers GNU/hurd as his favourite GNU based operating system

>>544516

Is it even possible to use ubuntu without GNU?

>>544439

>using ubuntu

that uncomfortable feeling when sheldon is officially more normie than you

I'm more of a KDE guy myself.

>>544494

Pretty sure bbt is filmed in front of an audience

>>544439

Imagine the levels of cringe that would result if Richard Stallman guest starred in an episode of Big Bang Theory.

>>544533

You know what they say,

old habits

>>544570

Everything he says or does would be one massive laughtrack. There would be no way to make out what he is saying over the uproarious synthetic laughter.

TBBT had Stephen Hawking guest star once. Every goddamn thing he said resulted im a laugh track. Stallman would be no different.

>>544570

If he appeared as St IGNUcius in an episode I might actually watch it.

Not sure what's wrong here, Ubuntu is a Linux-based operating system that's just a fact.

>>544413

how does it feel to know that this faggot's crap music has just exposed GHUNOO/LOONIX to 190 million people yet none of them will ever know what the fuck they are looking at?

You don't have to even worry about royalties if you have the computer displaying GNOME.

Also I'd just like to interject for a moment. Who you're referring to as Bieber is in fact GNU/Bieber, or as I've recently taken to calling him, GNU+Bieber.

LLVM is being made to replace GCC, so I wouldn't be surprised if all GNU software is replaced in major distributions in 10 years time.

Microsoft, Apple, et al, are the ones pushing development of it.

>>544879

While they continue to remove essential desktop features and water down the hacker experience :<

>>544871

I don't think there's any distribution compiling all their packages with Clang yet.

And they'd also have to replace glibc, the GNU coreutils, bash, GTK, autotools, GnuPG, GRUB, readline, wget, and god knows what else - all by other, superior software offering a superset of their behavior.

There are no plans to do that for most of that software. There's no libc aiming for complete bug-by-bug compatibility with glibc, there is no other set of core Unix utilities aiming to support every GNU extension someone might use in scripting, and so on.

The reason Apple took LLVM to make Clang was unique to compilers. They wanted to make proprietary programming languages, and GCC wouldn't let them. Objective C was immediately released as free software (technically not by Apple but that isn't really important) because it was a GCC front-end, and the GPL required it to be free software. But now that they grew LLVM and Clang, they could create Swift and leave it proprietary for over a year.

literally anything else fuck grub, use elilo or rEFInd OR EVEN Systemd-boot

Gentoo can

>autotools

considered harmful

>GnuPG

as hard to use correctly as autotools. Again a security need that OpenBSD solved the right way

>GRUB

this unwanted operating system is obsolete thanks to UEFI

>readline

bloat. use linenoise

>offering a superset of their behavior

No. There's a reason why there are multiple Plan9 clone projects yet all the Unixes that tried to stuff GNU-amounts of features into their software are gone. Bloat is toxic waste.

>There's no libc aiming for complete bug-by-bug compatibility with glibc

nobody wants a broken-by-design libc except bug-chasing emacs users and this surprises you how

>But now that they grew LLVM and Clang, they could create Swift and leave it proprietary for over a year.

and when it was opened it turned out to be nothing special, just another web3.0 memelang

>>545081

>musl

Doesn't aim for complete bug-by-byg compatibility with glibc, like I said.

>NetBSD userland, busybox, toybox

Doesn't aim to support every GNU extension someone might use in scripting, like I said.

>zsh, ksh family, ash, dash, etc

Can't run all bash scripts. I use dash for most scripting, and I use zsh as my interactive shell, and I like them both, but there are so many bash scripts around that you need a shell that supports all bash features in exactly the same way.

>QT

Can't be used for software that was written to use GTK, so it's not a drop-in replacement.

>editline

Probably inferior to Readline, judging by the fact that Readline is one of the handful of copylefted packages in the OpenBSD base distribution.

>curl

Can't do any of the things that make wget amazing, and doesn't want to. From their site:

>Curl is not a wget clone. That is a common misconception. Never, during curl's development, have we intended curl to replace wget or compete on its market. Curl is targeted at single-shot file transfers.

>>545090

>Gentoo can

And it's not terribly good at it. I do know people who do it. I should've said "by default".

>considered harmful

Just like 80% of the average Linux distro.

>and when it was opened it turned out to be nothing special, just another web3.0 memelang

That's not my point. I don't care about Swift. I was just explaining how GCC is different from the rest of GNU.

>>544439

Why do media producers feel the need to do this? Can they please just stop?

>>544413

I don't get why I should care about other people who use the same DE as I do. It doesn't affect my experience in any way. Even if the person is a faggot kid or a cringeworthy sitcom character. If I preferred GNOME I wouldn't bother to change DEs just because some fag uses the same one. The same goes for Sheldon and Ubuntu.

>>544871

making a replacement doesn't guarantee that all people will adopt it. There are tons of BSD kernels but none of them is as popular as Linux.

Clang's runtime efficiency has trimmed down as it implements more and better optimisations like GCC. It was just a placebo and a waste of human resources that could have gone to GCC, but NO!, the whining Apple bitch and company had to prove to themselves that they could waste their fortunes attacking the copyleft that prevents them from exploiting users even more.

By the way, Google, Intel, AMD, Mozilla, Red Hat and Samsung still develop GCC.

>>545309

but anon, isn't a good thing that free software is being exposed to millions of young minds?

I liked Bieber's first album a whole lot, I was like 13 though. I use GNOME too.

>>544439

>>544599 !

>Yes the show is shot infront of a live audience

Would have been fun if Stallman was there to ruin the scene by reminding him that it's GNU/Linux.

Also, do they actually consider that a joke? I don't even understand how this is supposed to be funny?

>>545580

So that makes you 19 now? Fuck, I'm getting old.

>>545831

I'm going on 19 in a few months. Always hated Bieber, that one cs188 poop of Baby is hilarious though.
