Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)

Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)

In Russia, Linux forks you!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

why wouldn't they just contribute to kylin, considering russia and china's allyship?

Complying with international sanctions is so dumb amirite.

stifling cooperation for a war completely unrelated to linux is so dumb, yes.

more so when "international" here means mostly western interests.

Laws don't matter if you don't believe in them amirite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

your flaky laws make the move any smarter?

Go for it. That's one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).

Ok, that was always allowed!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I wonder what they'll call it. Will they keep the "Linux" name?

A national fork? In Russia?

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well to be pedantic, Red Star is a custom DE on top of Linux, not a kernel

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (29 children)

Okay then, that was always allowed

regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.
