Itching to upgrade to 7.4 on all my computers.

Better the devil you can see. Good to know.

Now why you gotta go knock the wind out of our sails before we even get going? n_n

Sounds like a good time to apply for a job at SUSE.

It’ll show foresight and initiative, to be ready for when they realise they need to hire more, not less.

Same.

Seems there were indeed a lot of us who loved it, and have now lost it.

feels like how linux used to feel back in the day 😅

…

I am choosing to have faith that it will be ok for a while… given there are few alternatives.

There are many alternatives, if you’re keen for “feels like how linux used to feel back in the day”.

I nostalgically fetishise similarly… and look to the likes of wildly alternative kernels (e.g. ironclad, not just hurd), and graphics servers (e.g. pheonix, not just xlibre), etc. … And then there’s nostalgic fetish beyond that, to 8-bit, to ceefax, to basic, to rubber keys… XD maybe not all so practical or wise-learning.

And to think, I spent all that time learning, striving, to overcome the dyslexic and low-verbal-aptitude hurdles… only to end up looking like the adversary. A-ha! I knew school was anti-human bunk! XD

Oh. Exactly the sentiment I came to share. Felt the pressure to stop using them, just to avoid looking like a bot. ~'s my fave character. Bot appropriated. :/

legacy debt hindsight, tragedy of the commons, … oh why did we not think of the children, the future…

A change of font can ease the “ugly and clunky” a bit, on shallow aesthetic level at least. Rainbow delimiters too. There be ways to put lipstick on that pig.

Such great educational examples of narcissistic detachment from reality, has me wonder… is it a race condition?

Oh, at first glance at that image, I thought it was a reference to Arthur C Clarke’s The Nine Billion Names of God [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9UQyfHxWK8 / https://pdfroom.com/books/the-nine-billion-names-of-god/avd96xR0gKD ].

You’ve accused me of doing what you’re doing now. I smell DARVO. Putting words in my mouth. Slow down, read a little more carefully. I did not say I do not know any of the things you’ve just asserted. I’m leaning towards this not just being an honest misinterpretation, and seems more like you’re just seeking loosh. Bye.

Happy to tell you, I asked the question, and I stated it was open to interpretation.

And many people have done so. Fitting as intended.

If they want to say the distro they made following LFS is the hardest they’ve tried, they’re perfectly within the remit of the question with that; perfectly on topic. If they were to proclaim their re-write from scratch of templeOS in dreamberd was their hardest Linux distro, I’m happy to accept that. If they were to state the hardest linux distro they tried, was using GNU Hurd, instead of something with a Linux kernel, I’m happy with that too. If they had an entirely non-gnu userland, and an ironclad kernel, fine with that too. If they said Windows, satirising how hard that was on their life, how ignorant and disempowered it made them, that’s fine to interpret the question that broadly too. If someone said a piece of toast, with nothing to do with the linux kernel at all, then that’s fine too. If someone said Norway, by whatever crazy brought them there, that’s still within the remit of the question’s reassurance that it’s open to interpretation. See how open to interpretation works?

See how we’ve been arguing past each other, at different levels?

You’re free to interpret LFS as not a distro. That too is within the remit of open to interpretation. I wonder why you’re so insistent on only your interpretation of the question, and of that one aspect of one possible answer, and so stubborn to accept that the question itself, not merely LFS considered as a distro, is [as already stated in bold italics repeatedly] open to interpretation (and if you’ve even yet got that that’s what’s being questioned here).

(Probably not… but I thought this reply was good enough to help clarify… but then, I thought that several times already… and yet still, astonishing levels of not getting it, like taking a step back’s too difficult for your current apparent catecholamine tone.)

I teach you that its not

Let me know when that starts.

You just asserted elsewhere in this thread, that it’s not debatable. … Seemed like you were already putting forth debate arguments a day ago here.

So all the other people who interpreted the question, and the word “distro” in the question, in a manner that led them to answer LFS, are not just wrong to have interpreted it so, but… I’m sorry, I’m still struggling to get my head around your world view, how this is squared away, where there’s an internal logical consistency. [Edit: “no interpretation”? So what was it they all did?]

If it’s not debatable, how then did we arrive here?

See… its like you’re not even in reality. Reminds of NPD. Stating things as true or not true, contrary to what’s immediately evident. Like your failing efforts at saving face lead you to just try double-down harder, even further removed from awareness and reality. The ignorance that dies is not you. There’s no threat to you here. You can entertain an idea. It wont hurt.

You’re still not getting it.

Open to interpretation.

Contemplate these words.

I don’t know how to help you, since you’re not getting this.
