From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice.

Very much so looking forward to seeing rigorous benchmarks of GPUs on linux.

Honestly, it's about damn time.

These technical people should be ashamed it took them so long to adopt Linux.

Let's put that in a way that isn't so off putting. It's the duty of those in the know help those who are not when possible.

No it’s not. There is no duty to anyone. Go to a library or book store and read what you want to learn.

Ah, the RTFM argument. So you didn't go to school, did you? You picked up a book and just started educating yourself?

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I did and after entering the field I had chosen after graduation, I quickly left. It wasn’t for me. What paid for school, however, was fixing computers, electronic word processors, and building and selling PC’s. Bought an Apollo system to learn Domain Aegis UNIX on and checked out every book on UNIX I could get my hands on. When Linux arrived, I got in at Linux 0.99pl13. I got a job and paid to continue my education. So yeah. When I started there wasn’t a community of enablers.

If what you've chosen to learn could help someone right in front of you, and they're asking for help, you do not feel compelled to help them? I doubt that.

Depends on the topic. If enlightening them means I am enabling them to harm themselves, then no. Helping people waste time gaming and draw even more Steam users and their Windows crapware games towards tainting the purity of Linux is harming them and Linux, so no. No helping that.
