Unfortunately, no-one can be told what Linux is. You have to install it for yourself.

Linux is a kernel for OS.

Maybe Morpheus meant that no one can explain it and also be believed. 😅

Maybe the real matrix was the friends we made along the way.

The funny part of the original scene is that that is exactly what Morpheus himself does when Neo is outside the Matrix—tells him what the Matrix is.

This is one of a few different examples (in that film and the others) that give credence to reading Morpheus as less trustworthy than he is styled. He should maybe be doubted more often.

Yeah, but clearly this is a difference between knowledge and understanding.
Show threadcaseyweedermanMar 1
Maybe there’s a filter that keeps you from saying stuff like that inside the matrix.
Show threadRomulusCornflakesFeb 28
Yeah, but… but… like, but… if you just explain it, you’ll put people off. You’ve got to get them to install it first so that they get hooked.

It’s not only for operating systems, though.

It’s not only for operating systems, though.

What else? I can hardly imagine using Linux for something except OS.

Show thread0_o7Feb 28
Maybe they mean embedded systems where full OS isn’t required. Just the kernel and busybox.

Linux is like windows but not corporate and nerds lovingly made it and you have lots of choice and freedom and there’s a penguin and a fox girl and she’s trans

Then Ubuntu is Corporate Nerd Windows.
Show threadJorunn (she/her)Feb 28
Absolutely
Show threadAnotherHelldiverFeb 28

If Ubuntu is Corporate Nerd Linux…

What is RedHat then? Just Corpo Linux?

Show threadrtxnFeb 28

Ubuntu is the corporate business owner that got its starting capital from running a brick-and-mortar shop.

RHEL is the offspring of corporate business owners with generational wealth.

You take the red pill, you wake up to the real world.

You take the blue pill, you keep dreaming.

You take the green pill, you just get to… try reality out?

Show threadEvkob (they/them)Feb 28
It’s important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.
Show threadquediuspayuMar 4

As long as your hardware doesn’t say geforce anywhere.

I had this old pc with an old nvidia card, before installation everything worked smoothly, great! Install, reboot, this card is not supported.

Yeah. If Cyrus knew that, he wouldn’t have had to reinstall vista, by turning on all his buds

Let’s ask Richard Stallman to explain Linux.
Show threadInternetCitizen2Feb 28
Can’t. He’s in Dorcia and they won’t let us in.
Show threadExtremeUnicornMar 1
Linux… snacks on something from his foot is not an operating system itself. It is merely the kernel, part if the GNU slash Linux, or, as I’ve recently started to call it, GNU plus Linux operating system.

Linux is frustration, but it will set you free.
