Should /g/ be partitioned into a tech general board and a computer general board? I come here for linux/dpt/desktop threads and less for watch/intercom posts similar to lainchan's tech and programming boards.. Discuss.

strongly consider suicide
/v/ is the 2nd fastest board, and it's been split up 5 times, and it's still the 2nd fastest board.
/g/ barely moves at all.
There really isn't enough knowledgeable computer discussion to fill a whole board, it's fine the way it is.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

some shitposters were making 20+ desktop threads every hour and mods got sick of it so now they're bullying the desktop thread and the NEETs are kicking and screaming by making more spam threads

they aren't though, those threads were made by anti-anime shitposters
and it fucking worked, mods are dumb as fuck

I have a feeling this is tied back to the new janitor applications. Asian moot probably picked a bunch of retards.
No and no.
