Why can't linus make his own mini compiler that can only compile the linux kernel freeing us from the bullshit known as gcc.

>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

kill yourself

Your post is bad and you should feel bad.

Who else uses pure wayland?

The ability to choose has nothing to do with the free software freedoms.

I want to try it. Which distro ships a good one?

...

>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.

where is kdeshill gone

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.)

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”.

fuck off cunt

fuck off cunt

You can easily replace gcc with clang,nwcc,pcc,tcc/
What's a problem?

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.

Install Debian unstable, or Fedora Rawhide.
Ubuntu - memedistro.

>that's the problem
It's a feature.

>it creates dependency
No, it's not.

stop namefagging

the problem you should be concerned about is your own retardation

>Can't compile the kernel with any other compiler
>Not a dependency

We can all be Dmitry

You should be concerned with your love for being a slave.

Does it hurt your feelings to compile Linux with gcc?

Why must this thread always start with cancerous bait, wasting 25% of posts.

it would be boring otherwise

I want create Install Gentoo GNU/Linux nomultilib /thread in /g and /b

It's a bloated buggy mess that pisses off linus every release yet he still chooses to use it.

>EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS BAIT
Fuck off richard

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?

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?

Linux is shit, GNU HURD kernel about 2 times faster.

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.

Linux is just as replacable as any other part of the system
see Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

that's why the OS is called GNU/Linux

there is no system but GNU and Linux is just one of it's kernels

Then you're no longer running linux if you use a different kernel.

No richard, it's Linux not GNU/Linux.

kek

>No Apple, it's Xnu not macOS.
>No Microsoft, it's NT not Windows.
>No Google, it's Linux not Android.

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

>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.

>No Google, it's [a disguting mess of google blobs and spyware] not Android.
FTFY

and you're a Potato.

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.

wew ,edgy

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.

>You can replace almost all GNU software except GCC
with what? busybox?
don't make me laugh

why don't you write your own compiler then faggot, it's not like you don't have the freedom to do that

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.

>true freedom
>still depending on one kernel

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.

y so mad tho senpai. Linux will always be Linux. GNU will always be GNU. GNU/Linux is the combination of both.

The OS will always be linux despite richards LARPing.

>it's okay to depend one kernel
>but this one other thing???
>that takes away muh """true""" freedom
>and makes me a """slaveh"""!!!

GNU/kFreeBSD

Try booting Linux on its own and post here.

>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

already posting on linux+busybox+musl

>Try booting Linux on its own and post here.
nice diversion! but GCC cant boot a system

The kernel is different you GNUtard commie faggot. The kernel is most important and most alternative kernels don't support the hardware linux does.

>I'm fine with that, but not with the fact that other compilers don't support Linux
you're retarded

STOP REPLYING TO HIM GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Other compilers can't because linus uses special optimizations only GCC can use you commie faggot.

>Stop saying mean things about GNU software in the linux thread
Fuck off richard

I was telling people defending GNU not to reply to @59317756
he's obviously fishing for (You)'s

It can build Linux

fuck this thred, I'm out
/fglt/ is bankrupt and finished

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

I'd go for OSS
you can see how it's implemented in *BSD and other Unices

It was originally /flt/ till GNU communists took over it.

C is communism

No it's not

I know and that was wrong

>Everyone who disagrees with me is bait
Fuck off richard

It is. C stands for Cancer too. Anything C is inherently garbage. Because C is absolute garbage

It's not communism or garbage pajeet.

@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

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

>Use GCC comrade so you can be truly free ™
Fuck off richard

Go ahead, I want to see you try.

GNU/Linux*

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

Thanks I will. I'll let Linux and any other C projects die of C(ancer) while GNU/Redox will become the future

this thread cancer

fucking retards fighting about gnu, linux and compilers
go kys pls

Why yes, my sister is cute.

>hah! that'll show them!

Who's the parrot in all these rms pictures? His pet?

C is cancer. I have to rid GNU of C cancer.

good for you

hey Sup Forums, what is the best way to completly de-GNU my system?
I'm using Arch Linux, if it matters

install PacBSD

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.

No drivers

try it first, then talk shit

you cannot de-GNU a GNU/Linux system.

use void, alpine or BSD

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?

No drivers, cuck license etc

Yeah you can almost entirely. All that's left is getting rid of the GCC disease.
