Ubuntu is fine. When you get your PC, you can see for yourself and decide. If Ubuntu just works for you, stick with it, if it is a bad experience, try another GNU/Linux distro. Be aware though that the back end of the appstore in Ubuntu is proprietary/closed-source/nonfree/bad.

systemd vs sysv

There is no systemd vs sysv war. It is systemd suck or systemd fine.

Yes, but does anyone actually use LGPL still?

That does not matter. I think glibc uses it, not sure.

Anyway that is a different license and not really GPL anymore, as it does not force anything.

It forces people to give back to LGPL code. It is a weak copy left. I do not know what you mean by being GPL.

If they were LGPL from the start, yes, that probably would solve it.

That is my point.

Do you know about the LGPL license? I think it allows you to statically link proprietary code, and the LGPL code remains open while the closed code remains closed. Modified and distributed lgpl still remain under the LGPL.

The corporate adoption on uutils already started.

Windows is now using uutils for their coreutils. I want to see if Microsoft gives back anything to the project with that permissive license. Also, aren’t canonical and Microsoft partners or something? I saw the Ubuntu wsl news.

That is pretty cool. Did not know that. Will still be keeping my partition because it works fine for me.

Someone told me to RTFM. I later realized that was good advice. (I learned by reading documentation)

Then what is the setup if my computer only has 4GB of memory for daily driving? Just curious because swap partitions are what I normally do on limited resource machines.

Are these usable on hardware, and daily drivable?

Is it still considered strong copyleft if it is similar to the GPL then?

Who wants to buy his foot cheese? Anyone?

I was so focused on the picture instead that I forgot about the title, lol. Time to interject for a moment.

Does RMS fit in the picture here? The founder of the fsf and GNU.

• gentoo: # configure the make file for Firefox, and emerge www-client/Firefox.

It should take a moment or two to install. /s

Just want to let you know from my canoebooted laptop that I run a 100% “free as in freedom” OS (trisquel GNU/Linux). Also you have convinced me about striving for a goal instead of doing it perfectly, which is not possible. Well said.

NetBSD is more portable than Linux and supports a lot of CPU architectures. OpenBSD is secure by default. I think the BSD’S have jails, which are better containers, but I do not know much about it.

For desktop daily use, it only matters if you really want that Unix taste.

What about openBSD? I doubt the most secure OS would want llm code.

Is there another GPL OS instead? I am a fan of the GNU Hurd, but sadly I cannot run it on my hardware. The team of devs is really small, and it is amazing what they have done in all these years.

NetBSD already runs a lot of the satellites out there.

I have also heard of solaris, but never had a clue what it was.

I am pretty sure that is the enterprise OS owned by Oracle. It is closed source.

All I want is an os I can trust, that is logical, works, and stays out of my way.

NetBSD or openBSD is your best bet. You will have to install the desktop environment yourself though, unless you like their cwm. FreeBSD is the most popular BSD, but they are using AI to find security vulnerabilities.
