I bet Fedora already implemented this.

Let's hope some developers gather the courage to fork kernel and setup a community based on good old logic. Even Linus might at some point escape to it.

How horrible to define master/slave, or anything like it. Just give everything a big hug and a participation trophy for being code. ALL CODE MATTERS.

Redefining it doesn't change the absolutely racist kernel behavior! All code should be equal! Remove the SMP priorities, remove the execution privilege barriers! Fucking Linus and his racist shit!

participation trophy means the computer will be more useless the older it gets and not be able to run advanced coding at all since it only participated and did not allow for real development.

Hell you get enough people making written complaints then take the PC people to court for harassment since PC is not a law but an expected behavior though if people are taking stuff out of context then they are harassing others without actual reason and that is a law that you can have the people removed for or sued personally for the stress they are causing in the workplace including those that work in HR department or are on some committee that is persecuting innocent people. Hell setup instances where prerehearsed conversations totally innocent in nature can make it look to a normal person like the one complaining is mentally deficient and super oversentive to the point they cannot work in an environment without causing unneeded stress to others that are just doing their jobs properly.

I was wondering when people would get pissy about the master/slave paradigm or the terms blacklist/whitelist.

Wonder if the car companies will need to change the names of the master/slave cylinders...

it's not racial it's because all coders are into S&M style sex and I am not going to mess with a bunch of feminist dominatrix so you can change computer terminology is what he should have told them.

I agree and we should replace the word PC with the words thin skinned.

I don't know where Guix stands.

The problem is that I always end up reverting to debian in the end, because it's "professional grade" shit. But then it's ugly and the handy and semi/proprietary stuffs are missing. So you go barebone and you build everything from there because arch is awesome but fuck that shit I want a full skeleton to start on not just a bacteria. Alternative being ubuntu like, it's less ugly and more handy and it's still debian. So you go bare bone because you don't want to go ubuntu, and after a while you get old and you're tired of making the barebone install because of course you never have time to build a fucking script. So you go ubuntu and keep ranting about it. And then you look at new distros. And you remember why you went debian in the end. And the cycle keeps repeating.

I also find myself preferring Debian and avoiding Ubuntu. Lately I have been wondering about OpenSUSE as well.

Debian is reliable, it's not fancy but you know you what you get, to me it's sort of gold standard when it comes to linux

But then, aside from the fact that it's as sexy as a medical unit; you don't have the ppa stuff, which is quite handy when you "try everything until something sticks" tutorials or weird app testing, and of course you have the exotic hardwares issues related to proprietary drivers with the overall no proprietary policy by default... With debian you have to have 100% linux compatible hardware, which isn't the general rule especially when it comes to asus but not only. Ubuntu is more plug and play in that regard

Arch is great, but there are two main issues; 1 it's a "bacteria", for quick easy install gofuckyourself you have to go through the entire "darwininan chain of evolution until you reach a satisfying development level".. Like installing really everything.... They made progress though, you have a couple of fast and easy debian like installers floating around, but still, if there's a driver surprise it's going to be a pain too by default. Also I don't like pacman, I picture that arcade yellow thing in my head every time I type it, it just doesn't feel very serious. You also had yaourt what a shitty handy thing.

And 2) They lack man power I think, they add to drop some 32bit architectures now it's unofficial... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Frequently_asked_questions#What_architectures_does_Arch_support? And MIPS, no mips architecture support, which is dumb IMO especially for arch which is minimalist by definition

So for those reasons arch isn't my first goto choice, which is too bad because while their doc is fairly hard to digest, it's very complete, and I like their logo and the name too, for once it's not lame as fuck like bubuntu or fefedora
