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!
Just don't install it alongside Windows.
sanctioning foss is dumb as fuck.
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.
your flaky laws make the move any smarter?
Fascinating.
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!
I wonder what they'll call it. Will they keep the "Linux" name?
Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.
Well to be pedantic, Red Star is a custom DE on top of Linux, not a kernel
regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.
Oh man I fucking called this one, as soon as I read that article a few days ago saying that the Russian maintainers were removed from the kernel, I'm like man if Russia was smart right now they would do a country-funded version, this is completely legal as well under the licensing of the current kernel.
