      It’s not just GNU/Linux what people show in unixporn: some rice macOS, some rice BSD, and some even rice Android. What do they have in common? They’re all based on UNIX.

        They’re all based on UNIX.

        technically not, rather, they’re unix-like since unix was a proprietary system

          Thanks for the heads up! I meant in philosphy, not necesarily in the code.

        Ohhh I only ever saw linux, sorry. So BSD is based on Unix but is not unix too?

        Thanks for explaining.

            Unix is like franchising: you can be perfectly SUS, yet no money = not Unix

        Linux (and Android) are not based on Unix, they are Unix-like. And macOS is based on BSD.

      X doesn’t care what the kernel is.

  • Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
