Why is Linus not /g/'s sticky?
- created the Linux kernel
- created the Linux command line
- created tons of Linux operating systems such as Linux Mint, Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux
- build many Linux machines, Linux desktop PCs and LAMP servers that keep the Internet alive
Meanwhile Stallman is "fighting for freedom", or as I've taken to calling it: doing nothing.
You can't even compile the kernel without GNU.
If anyone should be up there it's Bill Gates. He became the richest man in the world and is the living American Dream personified.
Richard Stallman among thousands of other things wrote the initial GCC.
Linux kernel can only be built using GCC (or on a very few specific platforms closed source ICC)
Linus BTFO sucking Stallmans compiler cock for 25 years.
Don't forget git
>>54286776
What's wrong with subversion?
>>54286774
>thousands of other things
do we have a list that can be referenced and mocked?
>>54286776
Git is awful.
It's an overly complicated POS designed for mangling patches rather than being a good SCM.
Mercurial is the king, technically, even Facebook and Google have people working on it after being burned by what a shitty bloated unextendable turd git it. Even SVN is better than git.
>>54286783
No but if you got all the sources for every GNU thing they shit out and search for his email in logs it comes up a hell of a lot.
>>54286783
gawk, gnupg, gparted, emacs, fdisk, bash, autoconf, automake, coreutils, grep, etc etc
You know, just fucking google it.

Linus: Abrasive asshole
Stallman: Literally autistic
It's hard to say who's the more appropriate one to represent /g/
if only one of them was a giant weeb, that'd settle the argument in their favor
>>54286867
Stallman likes Utena, so go for him.
I don't think Linus ever mentioned anything concerning anime or manga.
He's not autistic. He doesn't represent /g/ as well as RMS does.
>>54286749
linux torvaldo sucks
>Why is Linus not /g/'s sticky?
I'm with you! Linus should be at the top of /g/
>>54286749
isn't as memeworthy as RMS or relatable by not being an obese, autistic nerd

He's too normal.

The only thing you were right about is the first point, and last bit about Stallman.
Fuck off.
>>54286749
I'd just like to interject for a moment. The person you're referring
as Linus has, in fact, done just a kernel for the GNU operating system,
or as I've recently taken to calling it, nothing. Linus is not a programmer
unto himself, but rather another leech in a fully functioning software team
made useful by GNU developers.
Many computer users run his lackluster version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the finnish reject
who is widely popular today is often called a "programmer", and many of
his followers are not aware that he stole his ideas from the GNU system,
developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linus Torvalds, and these people are worshiping him,
but he is just another attention whore in the software world. Linus is an
egotist: someone who wastes resources to develop his knockoff kernel that
you run. Linus is not an essential person in the project and is useless by
himself; he can only function in the shadow of a complete software team.
>>54287065
Ahh good old little Tom.
>>54287105

Yes.
>>54287185
Linux is a kernel, not an operating system.
>>54287237
>Linux (pronounced Listeni/ˈlJnəks/ LIN-əks[9][10] or, less frequently, /ˈlaJnəks/ LYN-əks[10][11]) is a Unix-like and mostly POSIX-compliant[12] computer operating system (OS) assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
bash is not part of the linux kernel. mint, arch, debian, gentoo, and so forth are distros, distributions, flavors of gnu and linux, not different oses. stallman and friends wrote gnu, linus and friends wrote linux. do more research faggot
>>54287255
>wikipedia
An operating system needs both a kernel and userspace, Linux is only a kernel.
You can't do anything with a kernel alone.

Go back to /b/.

linux is a kernel and an operating system retard, it says it right there >>54287255
>>54287265
There's no rule that I'm not allowed allowed to call combination of kernel and userspace Linux.

>>54287322

>>54287305
Yeah, why not call the combination of man and women just man. It's shorter.
>>54287305
You can also call ladders a scarf, doesn't make them a scarf.
>>54286749
Every time I see Stallman I retch internally. Fuck that communist scum.
Also, he calls himself 'Doctor' Stallman, he's only got honorary degrees. Posing faggot. Might as well listen to some Doctor Kanye West.
Fucking faggot.
>>54287343
I bet I can use ladders as a scarf.
>>54287342
>>54287343
The key difference here is that if you start doing that, you're going to be misunderstood.
I would never argue against a person who call ladder a scarf. Let him.
If you use the word Linux to refer to a full distro with userland, though, you're not going to be misunderstood. You're only going to upset few idiots.
>>54287368
For casual discussion calling Linux both is fine, for technical it most certainly is fucking not.
>>54287374
Of course it is. Again, you're not going to be misunderstood. There is no practical downside.
>>54287322
It's not a chair without it's legs, moron. It's just two pieces of wood stuck together.

Legs are more important than the chair, legs can go on multiple things, tables, mecha, humans, chair is only single use.
>>54287274
rms started the whole operating system in the 80s so people can use their computers in freedom
in the 90s, linus wrote a propritary kernel: linux. a year later, he free'd it by releasing it under the GPL, GNU added the kernel to it's OS
wikipedia is just parroting shit from the media spreaded by tech illiterates
>>54287380
No, it's not, that's like calling Linux bad because GNOME is a bloated pig or Clementine is a botnet.
>>54287400
Clementine is a botnet?
>>54287400
You're not going to convince me by just saying no and then listing inane analogies.
My viewpoint is pretty clear: there are no practical downsides to calling it Linux instead of GNU/Linux.
If you want to make me agree with you, show me a situation when there would be a problem with me calling something Linux while calling it GNU/Linux would not have caused the problem.
If you to just keep saying no, find yourself another conversation partner.
>>54287392
Everything a leg does can be done by a chair tho
>>54287396
Better than parroting shit from a fat autistic virgin.
>>54287430
They're inane because you don't like that they prove me right.
It's 4 more characters, suck it up, be technical and correct in your writing or fuck off.
>>54287430
How would you call a GNU OS using kFreeBSD, GNU Mach or any other kernel? Still "Just Linux"?
>>54287448
But it's not correct. Stallman is just trying to pry himself into Linus's achievements. Adding the GNU is insulting to Linux.
>>54287454
/thread
>>54287448
Analogies never prove anything.
Analogies are used as a tool for education, in a situation where the person being taught is ready to believe everything the teacher says.
We are not in this situation. We're having an argument. Analogies are literally meaningless here.

Linux LITERALLY doesn't exist without GNU, not 20 years ago, not now.
I'm unsure who in this thread is trolling and who is not.
>created the Linux command line
You mean bash ?
>>54287465
Yes, because it's still Linux.
>I don't call it a computer, I call it a GPU/CPU/PSU/RAM/Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse
Freetards are retarded
You can't even partition your drives without GNU, much less compile the kernel.
>>54287468
Except, of course, for the fact that vast majority of machines that run Linux, do that without any GNU software.
>>54287491
You're retarded, Linux machines without grep, awk, bash or gcc?
I'm not sure if your brain damage is contagious, get the fuck out of here before an infection spreads.
>>54287468
Yup, that's why everyone calls it Linux except for a handful of autistic virgins.
Sure thing buddy. I think I'll just stick to Linux.
>>54287501
>please Stallman-San make love to me, I defend your ego on the Internet
Pathetic.
>>54287501
Yes. Most of machines with linux, don't have grep, awk, bash or gcc. Not even GNU's version of init or systemd.
I wish I could see your face when you finally realize that you're wrong and I'm right.
I wish someone would write gnuless replacements for all the gnu utilities already. Then we could put this whole "akshully its' guhnoo/+linux" shit behind us.
>>54287519
Good luck with that small effort.
>>54287519
It's already behind us.
It's just Linux.

Yeah, http://www.winbeta.org/news/watch-microsoft-show-off-linux-command-line-windows-10-video
>>54287512
Okay.
>>54287535
How about you read the first sentence of what you posted.
>>54287454
Just Linux fags BTFO
>>54286749
Because if you send Linus an email, he will not respond within 24 hours. Granted, if he does respond it will probably be a mail consisting solely of profanity, but he probably won't respond. Linus is a professional with sane views and high ambition. If he were the /g/ symbol, he wouldn't even know about it. Or care about it for that matter.
Stallman responds to almost every single email that he gets, and also has some degree of autism. That makes it hilarious to have him as a /g/ symbol.
>>54286749
Because Stallman autists are retarded
>>54287554
Linus claimed multiple times that he despises "professional" environment with all its passive aggressiveness and does not consider himself a member of one. Usually in response to "please watch your language, we're all professionals here".
>>54287502
>>54286765
But you can
>>54287579
The picture is just as inane if you replace Linux with GNU/Linux there. The problem is the statement is faulty, not the use of Linux instead of GNU/Linux.
Ever since Stallman came out in support of Bernie I've wanted to punch him in the face.
Get rid of that filthy commie from our Sticky.
>>54286749
Stallman is a neckbeard autist that eats toe jam. You are on /g/, that's why.
>>54287596
>inane
It's Windows, OS X and Linux. Deal with it.
>>54287586
LLVM sure can't, maybe some ICC version can.
>>54286749
Also github. At the end of the day though, he's a giant cunt.
>>54287615
Calm down soldier, I'm on your side. The picture is inane because Linus is not actually author of those listed distros.
This thread shows how many anons of /g/ are actually tech illiterate. This board is dead.
Rest in peace /g/.
>>54287624
Linus did not create github.
>>54287598
Look, another retard who doesn't know what Communism is

>hurr if they don't credit Linux with some irrelivent faggots prefix they can't be part of my secret club
Faggot
>>54286749
What's the point? Linux has been reduced to a general here. Most of /g/ would rather talk about graphics cards, phones, and other consumer shit. Gabe Newell would be more appropriate at this point.
>>54287734
A /g/ent should be able to distinguish a kernel from an operating system, but it seems neo /g/ can't; neo /g/ likes posting speccy, starts pcpartpicker threads and asks /fglt/ how to install steam on ubuntu.
R.I.P.
>>54287775
/g/ used to have a lot of electrical engineers years ago, where did they go?
Okay everybody. It seems some things about the operating systems name are still unclear, so why not ask the operating system itself? Luckily we have a command for that:uname -o

Arguments "teach" you how to handle the information. If you refuse to, there is no discussion, there is no argument. Just two people making tappy tap noises at eachother ad infinium. In Spanish, some people call this the "guera". Which is funny because "guera" means "white girl" and "guerra" means "war".
I think I've said enough.
>>54287923
Funny how you put it in quotes. Even you don't believe what you are saying.
Arguments are about presenting and refuting points. My point is that there are no practical downsides to using the word Linux. And you never even tried to refuse that.
>>54287822
>>54287822
<3
>>54287956
I put it in quotes because those words are, actually, spoken, and in a different language. I put teach in quotes for you to handle the emphasis yourself. Now that I know you're an idiot that thinks IT makes his dick 3TBs thicker I can take the freedom to explain to you that when you teach someone using arguments, you are showing them what to say and have thus taught them. Otherwise, there is no saying they've learny anything. Hooray for the American education system.
Arguments are elaborated, from one dimensional opinions, with intent to present or refute points, held by contrary opinions. Arguments are provided within an exchange, a discussion. But you go ahead and keep continuing in technical discussions using the layman's use of the word. You'll win them all that way, probably because you'll be the only one handling the discussion in that particular form. As a remedial gesture of "superiority". You fucking clown.
Back to english class you go.
>>54286819
u r fucking weeaboo. Lain is true best grill
>>54287956
Also, I didn't refute your use of the word linux because it is not an appropriation of the guidelines or the structure that the word Linux refers to. I'm not the anon you were posting at and I don't really give a shit. I'm just in here wondering what the discussion 'Linus vs Stallman' could have that holds so many of you in spectacle for so long.

He looks like he has Down Syndrome a bit.

>- created the Linux kernel
He and many developers called "Linux Foundation".
Actually the only single thing he has done.
>- created the Linux command line
No, the default shell Bash is made by GNU developers.
>- created tons of Linux operating systems such as Linux Mint, Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux
No, those distributions ship different software packaged with the GNU operating system. Most of them have also packaged the Linux kernel, but not all of them.
>- build many Linux machines, Linux desktop PCs and LAMP servers that keep the Internet alive
No, LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql and php) can't work without the GNU operating system. Correctly it should be called "GLAMP".
Linus is just some guy who enjoys the success of the FSF and doesn't stand up for freedom.
This guy can't even install Ubuntu or Debian:
