also, looks like kim has some pretty good taste in computers:
>This latest version, written around 2013, is based on a version of Linux called Fedora and has eschewed the previous version’s Windows XP feel for Apple’s OSX – perhaps a nod to the country’s leader Kim Jong-un who, like his father, has been photographed near Macs.
Was a pain to get r00t and switch to English last time I tried it and the ridiculous filesystem abstraction made it feel like an OS for children.
Have these things been improved?

According to the linked article, it now has better file tracking and privacy invasion stuff.
I do not see why they would make the root easier to access, they indicate it is more tightly locked down than before, precisley so you cannot change anything.
Also, why would thy make there be English support?

Why would I give a fuck about this OS if it ain't all in English?
>>52086174
Well that is a pertty nice perspective. Just because it is not something immediatly clear to me it must be irrelevant and dull.
Maybe you can ask the researcher for the sources. Hopefully you at least can read them.

Using a literal botnet. Why? What is the fucking purpose of this

there's some weird sorta morbid-ish curiosity in using a linux distribution intended for the populace of a delusional fascist state
>>52087855
Yes, the Norks are going to come and bag me in the United States when they detect all of the degenerate porn that I'm installing on their OS.

>North Korea made the only good looking linux distro
>>52088287
I wonder what if it has better driver support too? Honestly I think state sponsored Linux might be the next step in the GNU revolution.

Waaaaay better than the NSA
>>52088467
>implying that they are not using that data to recruit black hat hackers for their elite cyber army
Are you a bad enough dude to hack Sony anon?
>>52088467
i mean, no one's actually installing it and using it unironically, dude. this is all happening in VMs and if anyone installs it on raw hardware it's likely as a joke.
this was discussed in a CCC talk earlier today, interesting if anyone can find the video.

I am

Exactly.
Windows 10 isn't far from this.
Likely has more backdoors.
