+1 on NixOS. On all devices except Android phones since 2014 for me.
Nix is a source code package manager and compiles everything from source, except when there's a binary substitute available.
You can do all these things on a framebuffer. Ok, maybe the game thing is a bit of a hassle, but the other stuff is totally doable.
Nothing. Linus doesn’t personally do coding on the kernel, he has a team who do that and he oversees it and makes the hard decisions.
Even that is not really the truth. There are dozens and dozens of teams that actually do the development, then there are people who coordinate and maintain certain parts of the kernel, merge in patches and make decisions. And then there's Linus who does coordinate these people.
There are others who will take his place and the work will continue.
And most likely Greg K-H will take over the position that Linus has right now. He has been one of the most active maintainers and is probably "the number 2" behind Linus.
Next to nobody uses in your bubble maybe. Not on my watch tho.
.nix for software packaging.
Santa is coming for that naughty person!
Vonwegen Steuereinnahmen! Man sieht doch am aktuellen Gesetzesentwurf dass Steuereinnahmen total egal sind und die Bundesregierung lieber anderswo die Leute abzieht anstatt dort wo praktisch alle Experten gesagt haben 'macht fett steuern drauf'.
Ich würde ja Bösartigkeit unterstellen, aber das soll man ja nicht wenn Inkompetenz die Erklärung sein kann. Anders kann ich mir den Gesetzesentwurf nicht erklären!
That they are still centralized in a way. Federation is only the first step, the next step must be real decentralization, so no more server software!
Can someone share a screenshot or two?

Not really a "braking my linux setup", but still fun as hell! Back in university, a friend of mine got a new notebook at a time... we spent the night at the university hacking and they wanted to set the notebook up in the evening. They got to the point where they had to setup luks via the cryptsetup CLI. But they got stuck, it just wouldn't work. They tried for HOURS to debug why cryptsetup didn't let them setup LUKS on the drive.
At some point, in the middle of the night (literally something like 2 in the morning) they suddenly JUMPED from their seat and screamed "TYPE UPPERCASE 'YES' - FUCK!!!"
They debugged for about six hours and the conclusion was that cryptsetup asks "If you are sure you want to overwrite, type uppercase 'yes'". ... and they typed lowercase. For six hours. Literally.
The room was on the floor, holding their stomach laughing.
