From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

when your entire system is already controlled by daemons …

Next funny number is 6.9, I'll see you there

Guys, this version was released in order to fix wifi issues, obviously wifi comes from hell when it comes to making it work.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hm, I thought Bluetooth was from hell. Or maybe spawn of Satan. Either way.

[–] LifeCoffeeGaming@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah you're thinking of printers, they come from the depths of hell, 9th or 10th ring at guess. Bluetooth is an amateur by comparison.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What about a WiFi enabled printer with Bluetooth support

[–] rammer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

WiFi enabled printer with Bluetooth and DRM for print cartridges and forced advertisements with sound always on.

So what you're saying is we're already 9 layers deep in hell

Yesterday, my laptop would not hibernate or shut down. SystemD complained about waiting for the wifi or something.

One kernel update later, and all is well once more.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Can't be any worse than what I did to bork my Nobara install during the last update. Now half the letters on system widgets are blank lol. Might be a great time to switch distros. And get the devil's kernel.

Nah, more like you see this when the kernel finishes loading.

Also,

phone recorded video

I ain't watching that fam.

but how would one record the booting? virtual machine I guess

[–] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Capture card and whole other PC would be the only alternative I can think of

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 months ago

No no no OP, you don't understand, you MUST invest into a capture card for the sole purpose of making memes!
Think of all the funny internet points you could win with those HD quality memes!

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 7 points 9 months ago

least they recorded it in landscape mode …
