Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    and why Unix? Linux ain't unix.

    It's not just GNU/Linux what people show in unixporn: some rice macOS, some rice BSD, and some even rice Android. What do they have in common? They're all based on UNIX.

    They’re all based on UNIX.

    technically not, rather, they're unix-like since unix was a proprietary system

    Thanks for the heads up! I meant in philosphy, not necesarily in the code.

    [–] kurumin@linux.community 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Ohhh I only ever saw linux, sorry. So BSD is based on Unix but is not unix too?

    Thanks for explaining.

    BSD is Unix

    [–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

    Unix is like franchising: you can be perfectly SUS, yet no money = not Unix

    Depends on what you mean by BSD.

    If you mean literally BSD, then yes, it's a direct UNIX decendant based on the same source tree. However, it's been discontinued 30 years ago.

    If you mean one of the *BSDs (Freebsd, netbsd, openbsd), then the relationship is more similar to that of linux, although there is still actual BSD code involved.

    oh I get it. Thanks|!|

    Linux (and Android) are not based on Unix, they are Unix-like. And macOS is based on BSD.

    X doesn't care what the kernel is.
