From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lol some shitty distro used by almost nobody, and serves no interest other than corpo lover's interests
About Chimera Linux is shitty, no, it is accessible for script kiddies since it use GNOME. It might gain popularity... some day... but I don't think the day is too far
And enthusiasts will love it. But you hate it because you like to war on what license to use than to patch a bunch of software to make it work for musl (and perhaps, clang). You can only see they are "corpo lovers" but not realize that they are different from most linux by popularizing softwares that are unpopular if they are intended to be "superior".
I hope you can get on realistic communism and understand that communism (socialism is much near) with infinite high tech is built on capitalism, and any communism that is not built on capitalism can only exist when people do not have enough food and aren't developed. When you haven't reach high capitalism (like Viet Nam) corpo + single party government that protect the rights of workers is the only way to do.
Lenin wrote: "The age of referencing books to discuss about socialist revolutionary credo has forever passed. I deeply believe that that era is over to never return. Today, we can only base our debates on socialism on the basis of experience." (perhaps poorly translated.)
At least I escape unreadable and unmodifiable GNU stuff
I saw your interest in Marxism-Leninism. Marx taught: Labor productivity is the premise for this society to win over the old society (poorly translated because I read translated textboot)
(Năng suất lao động là tiền đề để xã hội này chiến thắng xã hội cũ)
So the communists must learn to do business. Otherwise it is dogma, moralism (and soon become revisionism). Look at Viet Nam, we would have a pure capitalist government if we don't switch to market economy (reactionalists backed by US would rebel and they are supported by 3/4 Vietnamese poor people). Now poverty has fallen into history.
Nothing prevents GNU software to do business, as already proven by quite many successful corporations. BSD and MIT licenses will only result in exploitation, e.g Sony and Apple who take fruits of open source labor and give nothing back. The bourgeoisie is only inclined to enslave the proletariat and it's labor, GPL stands in it's way.
GNU already stated themselves, but they prohibit modification and redistribution: any modification must also fall under GPL. Perhaps I want my code public domain or 0BSD? In practical, commercial also mean modified.
From your writing I have seen you as a dogmatism of Marxism-Leninism. That's revisionism. Nowadays new Marxism learn about Marxism-Leninism, then talk about how the business could get better, and competitive with other Marxism (to make money for the capitalists.) to produce more high-quality products
Anyone dislike? Marxism is always against dogmatism.
