When have you met someone that's touched Linux code

Where is there a single "repo" that you can download and compile, instead of installing from binary

Where is there a single "repo" that has open discussion

It's controlled opposition, hurr durr free software movement to oppose Windows

I have

Where is there a single "repo" that you can download and compile, instead of installing from binary

You can always find a separate repo containing source code you can compile, install and read.

Where is there a single "repo" that has open discussion

Why would you discuss a hundred different packages repo wide? The aim of that chat clearly isn't hyper specific and you wouldn't want it flooded w/ the asinine opinions and misconceptions of every bum that comes along like you. Clearly you'd rather converse w/ those that have proven their value and aren't a waste of time.

You're quite literally the dumbest fuck I've encountered in 2021 so far. All of the source code is available.

insert terry meme... Purely binary installs such as centos are actually uncommon. I can't decide if this is good bait, or just the ramblings of a room temperature kinda individual.

You can download and edit/compile you very own kernel.. wth are you talking about?

Proof of these claims?

This is retarded and you should feel bad for posting this without a source or more evidence for you claim of Linux being controlled opp.

>When have you met someone that's touched Linux code.

I have done it for a job. Unix has been around for a long time. Its uses aren't for personal computers, but embedded devices and servers for a long ass time.

>Where is there a single "repo" that you can download and compile, instead of installing from binary

It's all spread out, not in a central location for the average person to make something. There's a reason experienced coders are paid well because they don't always rely on tutorials because they are experienced in the field for 10+ years.

>Where is there a single "repo" that has open discussion

Said above, unix is not just for personal computers and script kiddies, a lot of it is for embedded devices, i.e. smart speakers, routers/modems/standalone network drives, iot, vehicle infotainment, building controllers, digital cameras/quadcopters, kiosks/creditcard machines/atms.. the list goes on...

>It's controlled opposition, hurr durr free software movement to oppose Windows

You can troll all you want. Windows is slouching into destruction by outsourcing their kernel to $10/hr street shitters relying on stackoverflow. Linux offers very minor financial restrictions for development and that appeals to software companies.

It boots in 1/38th the amount of time it takes windoze. That's all the proof I need

Umm you can find other repos you N You can also add repos to current one

systemd is a bad, deb system is nice, user interface is superior and cutting edge, people can use zfs and get 'time machine' capabilities

there isnt a better option for a home user. i think gamers are doing linux with windows virtualization nowdays and didnt steam port to linux?

1) Me. My director at work, had previously worked on drivers (in the kernel) for several years - when he worked for IBM. Lots of companies pay their devs to improve Linux because we all use it, and the GPL license prevents them from just having their own internal one.

2) https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=linux-git. -> https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux

I have been building linux-lqx for a while, actually.

3) Repos have code, not discussion. That's like asking "Where is the repo for open discussion on civil liberty? There isn't one? Oh, well, liberty is a scam, then.".

4) The "Permissive License" and "Code of Conduct" movements have completely succeeded in cucking the Linux Foundation, which is the most important factor in the development of Linux. Linux is probably full of backdoors, and it has certainly had its development stalled by interests like Microsoft using their trannies to control the Foundation.

the GPL license prevents them from just having their own internal one.

It actually doesn't IF you aren't distributing it. It's generally considered a Stupid Tax, though, because you end up having to maintain that code to keep it in sync with upstream.

There is a lot more nuance to the terms than what I quipped, you are correct. The whole "Tivoization" debate as Exhibit A.

[–] • 1 pt

And even there, "Tivoization" doesn't apply to Linux, because Linus purposely kept the kernel GPL 2. But yes, there's a lot of nuance around copyright and GPL.
