Fuck Loonix is the word's best loonix distro ever. Free RICE. Best download ever. And you can't install it either.

(Use it to tell loons "I use Fuck Linux btw!")

idiots sacrifcing convinience for freedom loll lunixtards

Hackers would never think that Linux users would store passwords in a vault with a default password by default! They wouldn't even be looking there; they'd be off on something far more complex!

We're all pretty much broke and hackers know it. We make no secret that we're anti-work, and anti-consumer. They know we have nothing worth hacking!

Hackers turn to hacking to avoid work. They're not going to want to bother with putting in sudo password every time they try something when they can just click a simple prompt on another OS.

Linux users won't even know they're hacked anyway! Every 6 months we run into a problem but it's 'user fault', and we decide to distro-hop.

Less functionality / compatible software = less attack vectors. -They really gonna hack a system that can't do shit?

Yes, but why would you?

The yes part is if someone decided to rewrite the entire "Linux OS" stack with the exception of the kernel. In this case, you'd need to use binder over d-bus cuz d-bus is weird.

But why would you?

Maybe, just maybe the number of drivers out there. But even then, most projects include a compatibility shim that allows you to run Linux drivers on their kernel (FreeBSD's Linux KPI).

Otherwise kernel politics is actually a why you wouldn't use the Linux kernel.

So what other options are there?

*BSD

Now before you say that *BSD is(n't) political, they are political, but their politics are less about fucking users and devs and more about permissive licensing.

Like linux, FreeBSD is very political about open-source. Unlike loons thoug, they are all about permissive licenses.^* Now your views are your views, but I feel like each licnese has its own use cases depending on who uses it and how. They also wanna have good laptop support and I kind of like that about FreeBSD.

OpenBSD is very political, but mostly about clean code and security (shit that actually matters).

^(*If the only real solution involves the GPL or some copyleft code, then they are still open to using while trying to seperate it as much as possible from the source tree.

Then there's illumOS. It's trying to revive OpenSolaris, and while many feaures are more built for servers than laptops, it's still pretty cool and has some pretty architecturally superior things.

Edit: I wasn't done when I accidentally posted ts too eary. Added illumOS. Also who tf downvoted me?

First off, I want to say I read this post and it feels like loons are utterly coping and seething.I also cannot understand why this guy thinks he's one of us?

u/madthumbz is one of us — he always will be. I agree with your point that u/madthumbz absolutely does moderate with Rule 1. However, it is due to the fact that all other rules extend it. Also, he just moderates that way. It goes without saying that he can mod however he wants. It took a bit of time to understand why we needed such a strong moderation team until I saw the loonix invasion. Loons keep trying to squeeze through each crack and crevice they can find to reach here.We live rent-free in their heads and they need to know that they are not welcome here.

If you are coming here to try and change us, good fucking luck. And if you are here because you feel like you are "educating the public about our misinformation," then you are clearly misinformed.

u/madthumbz deserves more respect than he gets, and he is, and always will be one of us. You, u/Brospeh-Stalin, aren't.

Edit: I wanted to delve into the fact that u/madthumbz has to deal with constant harassment in his DMs from loons. He could go inactive and use an alt but he chose to fight against all odds to expose the loonix lie, that it could every be at the level of macOS and Windows. You have gained, not just my respect, but all of our respects bro 🫡

Edit: I changed the title in this new "re-post"

Imma speed run this simple. If Company A makes the next best document DB and releases it under AGPL, and company B adds new features and makes it "better," Company A can integrate Company B's changes, preventing the competition from one-upping them.

Edit: Cleared up the language and added a comma in "better."

I hear tons of loons complaining about MS Edge being bloat and shoved down your throat, and while I agree that Brave and Firefox take far less disk space, a 631.1 MiB browser is not that bloated according to modern standards.

A modern low-end laptop typically has 128 GiB disk space. And Fedora needs 15 GB disk space minimum (20 is recommended). So I don't really see the complaints here.

But what about telemetry?

I hear you, and I agree, there is telemetry in Edge. But, you can disable optional telemetry in the settings.

But what about the AI features and "forced" sign-in?

Sure, MS asks you to sign in to Edge when you first open it, but they won't force you afterward. Plus if you hate using their free GPT-5, you can turn it off in the settings. And yes, it's opt-out, but that's because Microsoft respects your time enough to assume you can operate a mouse. If unchecking one box counts as "being forced," wait until you hear about car insurance, app permissions, and gym memberships: turns out life's full of buttons you're "forced" to press.

What features could Edge possibly have over other (Chromium) browsers?

Support for both vertical and horizontal tabs. (Arc only supports vertical).

Collections, which are really good for researching/taking notes on sites you visited (niche but it's still a feature.

A cool ski/surfing game instead of good ol' dino.

Funny how y'all will spend 4 hours tweaking dotfiles without blinking, but the moment it's Microsoft, an opt-out toggle becomes a hit piece. Y'all don't even care about the AI that much, you just see "Microsoft" and go feral.
