Fedora, Xfce.

Last time I checked it was Fedora with gnome.
Joseph Young
?
Isaac Williams
He uses Fedora. I'm not sure if he uses GNOME but I know he's fairly annoyed by the GNOME devs.
Ryan Lee
Noob uses gnome
Mason Myers
KDE
Jaxon Rogers
Blake Smith
I don't blame him. Never should have dropped gnome 2.
Levi Wood
this fuckin show, man
Luke Miller
He really dislikes gnome 3, gnome 2 is his favorite DE.
Robert Reyes
>What distro does Linus use?
whatever they pay him to use
Brody Torres
Fedora + GNOME3 + systemd
Not even joking.
Justin Gomez
Who are "they"? Distro developers?
Noah Williams
I can understand Fedora and systemD, but why the fuck does he use gnome?
Oliver Young
I really dislike gnome 3 too. better off just running openbox all by itself.
Carter Wright
idk but can agree, thats what he said on some stream not too long ago
Jason Gutierrez
He probably just doesn't care as long as it doesn't prevent him from using his programs with ease
Jose Hughes
err, Why do they call it Linix? and not Linux?
I mean the 'u' does not need to be overly heard, just going in to 'x' but there should not be 'i' sound I think.
linix != linux

He's fairly annoyed by kernel devs too. Generally, Linus is a pretty unpleasant guy.
Cooper Perez
cuz gnome3 is actually good? Also it's only DE that works with hidpi/retina displays
Josiah Richardson
SJWs are mad at linus again for this

Can I just pipe up and say "Amen!"
In fact, let me say that I actually think we *should* talk about GPL
enforcement at the kernel summit, because I think it's an important
issue, but we should talk about it the way we talk about other issues:
among kernel developers. No lawyers present unless they are in the
capacity of a developer and maintainer of actual code, and in
particular, absolutely not the Software Freedom Conservancy.
I personally think this arguing for lawyering has become a nasty
festering disease, and the SFC and Bradley Kuhn has been the Typhoid
Mary spreading the disease.
The most shining moment for the SFC - hey, it's the lead-in on the
wikipedia page - was the GPL compliance enforcement for BusyBox.
And let us not kid ourselves. That may be the shining moment for SFC,
but it was *not* a shining moment for BusyBox.
I'm not aware of anybody but the lawyers and crazy people that were
happy about how the BusyBox situation ended up. Please pipe up if you
actually know differently. All it resulted in was a huge amount of
bickering, and both individual and commercial developers and users
fleeing in droves. Botht he original maintainer and the maintainer
that started the lawsuits ended up publicly saying it was a disaster.
So I think the whole GPL enforcement issue is absolutely something
that should be discussed, but it should be discussed with the working
title
"Lawyers: poisonous to openness, poisonous to community, poisonous to
projects".
Parker Gomez
Absolutely.
Let's just be honest and very clear for a moment. I realize that that
is hard when talking about legal issues, but let's just cut through
all the bullshit and try.
The fact is, the people who have created open source and made it a
success have been the developers doing work - and the companies that
we could get involved by showing that we are not all insane crazy
people like the FSF.
The people who have *destroyed* projects have been lawyers that
claimed to be out to "save" those projects.
So let's just make this very very obvious: when Bradley Kuhn says "we
can all decide to give up on the GPL, or we can enforce it in Courts",
we should look at actual history, and learn from it.
Because Bradley Kuhn is so incredibly full of shit that this *needs*
to be stated openly.
Let's be clear about this: lawsuits destroy. They don't "protect".
Lawsuits destroy community. They destroy trust. They would destroy all
the goodwill we've built up over the years by being nice.
Xavier Garcia
The rms and the FSF actively pushed the whole industry away from the
GPL (and they still do). The reason you find lots and lots of
companies using the GPL and other open source today is very much the
fact that the groups that pushed "open source" instead of "free
software" were successful in showing companies how this was actually a
better development model, and in showing how you get such incredible
returns from participating in the process.

>We like the GPL but I'm afraid to do shit if people violate the GPL because I don't want to make people upset
So Linus just went full beta?
Carter Wilson
no, he doesn't want developers and companies to go away because of the bad image rms and FSF give
since they are insane, zealous, and lawyer happy
Zachary Ross
>no, he doesn't want developers and companies to go away because of the bad image rms and FSF give
Exactly, as I said, he's afraid to upset anyone.
What a fucking beta. Microsoft has never been afraid to sue anyone, and they are industry leaders (in their industry of course, which is being an office and home consumer platform).
Linus is just a wimpy little hobbyist nerd.

the only beta is rms since he is losing, open source (Linux) has won
Julian Lee
>won
He just admitted he'd rather allow companies cucking him all over his face and violate the GPL rather than doing anything about it for fuck's sake.
How is that anything but being a massive coward and full on beta?
Christopher Flores
It's not that he's afraid to upset people, he's quite controversial sometimes
Tyler Thompson
It's only good if you have a touch screen
Parker Cook
RedHat, who else?
Oliver Adams

I fucking love Linus

Good. GPL is cancer and while those affected by it can live fairly healthy lives thanks to modern management methods like chemo a more permanent cure would be a godsend
