Previous thread: If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or Mac. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Why can't linus make his own mini compiler that can only compile the linux kernel freeing us from the bullshit known as gcc.
Joseph Hall
>gcc >bullshit gcc one of the best compilers btw. You can use clang if you want. or pcc, tcc nwcc, intel c compiler. Nobody forces you to use gcc, it's called FREEDOM gcc respects your freedoms
Ryder Bell
kill yourself
Joshua Ramirez
Your post is bad and you should feel bad.
Daniel Flores
Who else uses pure wayland?
Jaxson Thomas
The ability to choose has nothing to do with the free software freedoms.
Oliver Parker
I want to try it. Which distro ships a good one?
Benjamin Clark

Matthew Lopez
>Forced to use GCC to compile Linux >FREEDOM GCC is a virus and even worse is written in C++. If the was true freedom you could easily replace GCC.
Parker Johnson
where is kdeshill gone
Robert Morgan
repost from last thread:
I'm trying to install the proprietary drivers for my r9 280x AMD GPU. I tried to select them through the additional drivers dialog but it's broken. So i tried to do it through an apt-get but got this
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx
The following packages have unmet dependencies: unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
I'm trying to use the official AMD drivers because they are what you need to use an r9 280x with CodeXL, an AMD OpenCL/OpenGL IDE with a lot of features
It seems that this is an older bug from like 2015. If I have to upgrade to ubuntu 16.xx I will (The computer that has my r9 280x in it has only one purpose: to run this fucking program.)
Ryder Brooks
The expression “the Linux kernel” can easily be misunderstood as meaning “the kernel of Linux” and implying that Linux must be more than a kernel. You can avoid the possibility of this misunderstanding by saying or writing “the kernel, Linux” or “Linux, the kernel”.

Lucas Ramirez
You can easily replace gcc with clang,nwcc,pcc,tcc/ What's a problem?
Alexander Murphy
Why do GCC fags love slavery so much?
You can't compile the Linux kernel without GCC, that's the problem. It creates a dependency where you need GCC.
Ethan Stewart
Install Debian unstable, or Fedora Rawhide. Ubuntu - memedistro.
Michael Watson
>that's the problem It's a feature.
Evan Wright
>it creates dependency No, it's not.
Jason Thomas
stop namefagging
Liam Miller
the problem you should be concerned about is your own retardation
Robert James
>Can't compile the kernel with any other compiler >Not a dependency
Cameron Bell
We can all be Dmitry
Aiden Long
You should be concerned with your love for being a slave.
Jaxson Baker
Does it hurt your feelings to compile Linux with gcc?
Andrew Taylor
Why must this thread always start with cancerous bait, wasting 25% of posts.
Levi Gray
it would be boring otherwise
Anthony Adams
I want create Install Gentoo GNU/Linux nomultilib /thread in /g and /b
Nolan Reyes
It's a bloated buggy mess that pisses off linus every release yet he still chooses to use it.
Robert Bailey
>EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS BAIT Fuck off richard
Matthew Collins
you can't use GNU/Linux software without linux and that's a problem it creates a dependency where you need linux do you like being a slave or something?
Nolan Lee
So i need torrent client(cli) which can run in background. I want to add torrents like transmission-cli -w /dir/ -u 1 magnet;url >transmission-cli problem is that it takes too long to load magnet
Any suggestions?
Juan Baker
Linux is shit, GNU HURD kernel about 2 times faster.
Tyler Turner
The kernel is far more important than user land. I can replace almost all GNU and still have a functioning linux machine. If I replace the kernel I have a different OS. I should be able to use a non GNU compiler to compile the linux kernel.
Christian Russell
Linux is just as replacable as any other part of the system see Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
Ryder Foster
that's why the OS is called GNU/Linux
Nicholas Hall
there is no system but GNU and Linux is just one of it's kernels
Alexander Richardson
Then you're no longer running linux if you use a different kernel.
No richard, it's Linux not GNU/Linux.
Carson Price

Wyatt Wilson
GNU faggots are cancer to the point they can't even follow their own philosophy. They actually think being locked into certain tools or programs is FREEDUMBS
Michael Hall
>Then you're no longer running linux if you use a different kernel. >you're not running linux if you're not using linux It appears we have Einstein himself in this thread, guys.
Christopher King
>No Google, it's [a disguting mess of google blobs and spyware] not Android. FTFY
Angel Phillips
and you're a Potato.
Jonathan Richardson
Linux is nothing without GNU, faggot. As you've said it yourself, Linux depends on the GNU compiler first and foremost. Hence the OS is called GNU/Linux.
You can replace almost all GNU software except GCC because linus forces you to use it, not because of actual merits. True freedom would allow me to compile linux kernel with any compiler.
Jace Miller
>You can replace almost all GNU software except GCC with what? busybox? don't make me laugh
Dominic Roberts
why don't you write your own compiler then faggot, it's not like you don't have the freedom to do that
Evan Ward
Wew you can replace the whole system with Windows, does it change the fact that the combination of GNU and Linux is the GNU/Linux system? No.
Caleb Butler
>true freedom >still depending on one kernel
Brayden Perez
Why can't linus stop being an asshole and let me use a different compiler?
Richard is desperate for validation. It will always be linux and that toejam eating commie jew can stay mad.
Luke Ramirez
y so mad tho senpai. Linux will always be Linux. GNU will always be GNU. GNU/Linux is the combination of both.
Jason Brown
The OS will always be linux despite richards LARPing.
Hudson Thompson
>it's okay to depend one kernel >but this one other thing??? >that takes away muh """true""" freedom >and makes me a """slaveh"""!!!
Tyler Green
GNU/kFreeBSD
Isaac Hernandez
Try booting Linux on its own and post here.
Christopher Williams
>Why can't linus stop being an asshole and let me use a different compiler? because it's a great compiler and he's not an autistic retard like you to think otherwise
Jaxson James
already posting on linux+busybox+musl
Dominic Jenkins
>Try booting Linux on its own and post here. nice diversion! but GCC cant boot a system
Ryder Powell
The kernel is different you GNUtard commie faggot. The kernel is most important and most alternative kernels don't support the hardware linux does.
Anthony Flores
>I'm fine with that, but not with the fact that other compilers don't support Linux you're retarded
Nolan Adams
STOP REPLYING TO HIM GOD FUCKING DAMNIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Cooper Ross
Other compilers can't because linus uses special optimizations only GCC can use you commie faggot.
Logan Morgan
>Stop saying mean things about GNU software in the linux thread Fuck off richard
Luis Bailey
I was telling people defending GNU not to reply to @59317756 he's obviously fishing for (You)'s
Nathan Ramirez
It can build Linux
Noah Cruz
fuck this thred, I'm out /fglt/ is bankrupt and finished
Henry Morgan
gentlemen, which way would be the easier for HURD to have sound? -port ALSA -port OSS -create a userspace sound system for HURD, utilizing translators and providing ALSA/OSS compatibility
Grayson Gutierrez
I'd go for OSS you can see how it's implemented in *BSD and other Unices
Carter Watson
It was originally /flt/ till GNU communists took over it.
Bentley Taylor
C is communism
Gavin Thomas
No it's not
Adam Jones
I know and that was wrong
Levi Wright
>Everyone who disagrees with me is bait Fuck off richard
Gavin Price
It is. C stands for Cancer too. Anything C is inherently garbage. Because C is absolute garbage
Kevin Davis
It's not communism or garbage pajeet.
Ryan Sanchez
@59317996 you don't have any legitimate arguments you're making up problems where there aren't any for those sweet sweet (You)'s well guess what no more (You)'s for you faggot
Bentley Gutierrez
I'd be happy to translate GNU to Rust and publish it under GPLv3
C is trash and so is Linux. GNU/Redox is going to be better
Jace Hill
>Use GCC comrade so you can be truly free ™ Fuck off richard
Go ahead, I want to see you try.
Robert Kelly
GNU/Linux*
Nicholas Perry
go install Alpine while jerking of to Linus Torvalds faggot don't forget to recompile the kernel without GCC, you don't want to stain your machine with that GNU filth or idk just go back to windows or something I mean all this freedom, but you still have to use GCC to compile the kernel? it's not true freedom at all
Tyler Russell
Thanks I will. I'll let Linux and any other C projects die of C(ancer) while GNU/Redox will become the future
Thomas Reyes
this thread cancer
Charles James
fucking retards fighting about gnu, linux and compilers go kys pls
Jack Foster
Why yes, my sister is cute.
Evan Anderson
>hah! that'll show them!
Lincoln Murphy
Who's the parrot in all these rms pictures? His pet?
Brody Hall
C is cancer. I have to rid GNU of C cancer.
Nicholas Cook
good for you
Owen Nguyen
hey Sup Forums, what is the best way to completly de-GNU my system? I'm using Arch Linux, if it matters
Kayden Evans
install PacBSD
Matthew Bailey
The GNU stuff is in /bin/, just remove it. sudo rm -rf /bin/ No worries. All you need to run your system is in /usr/bin.
Ayden Howard
No drivers
Owen Evans
try it first, then talk shit
Landon Rodriguez
you cannot de-GNU a GNU/Linux system.
use void, alpine or BSD
Nicholas Wood
There was an user that reccomened I install Arc-Dark theme on Xubuntu, but I am having trouble doing it. I'm at the "window manager> style" page but I don't see Arc-Dark. Is there a noob guide to installing it, or can someone here walk me through it?
Alexander Allen
No drivers, cuck license etc
Connor Young
Yeah you can almost entirely. All that's left is getting rid of the GCC disease.
