  • For my main desktop I use Mint because it just works, widely supported and Cinnamon is good (sadly no Wayland yet. ;_;). I also use Home-manager for my configuration because it allows me to easily just specify my config as a set of files I can check into git.

    For my server, I use NixOS, because having all my configuration in a few text files is very nice to get an overview of what my server is doing.













  • What improvements are you thinking of? I can see that reasoning with something like the Linux kernel where there’s a lot of complex and integrated code, but ultimately individual coreutils commands are really simple. There’s very little you can do to extend something like ls… And if you do, you can just make your own superls command and not have to deal with any licensing restrictions.

    With regards to AGPL vs GPL, none of the coreutils programs have network connectivity, so I’m not sure what the network requirement actually adds?



  • here, take my stuff and don’t contribute anything back, that’s totally fine

    I mean, yeah? They are probably fine with that and think that software should be distributed without restrictions. You may not agree with it, but it’s their choice. Not really stealing if they give it away willingly.

    I cannot fathom any FOSS project not using the AGPL anymore.

    I mean, most of them that want to use a GPL-like license use the GPL or LGPL rather than the AGPL. :P

    why are developers even agreeing to this?

    Are they? Last I checked this wasn’t as much of a plan as much of it was just a developer thinking out loud. And even if it was a real plan, developers should continue doing what they should be doing anyway: Write their scripts without any GNU/uutils/whatever-microsoft-calls-their-evil-uutils-fork extensions. Then their scripts could run across all platforms, including GNU, uutils, FreeBSD and BusyBox.

    At any rate, if Microsoft really wanted to make their own coreutils fork (if they haven’t already), they’re not really that complicated tools. They could devote like maybe a year of engineering time and get it pretty much compatible.

    Lots of comments about gaming from people assuming that companies will continue supporting their kernel anticheat on Windows 10 after it hits eol.

    Windows 11 is much more convenient for identity tracking, so they’ll probably push for people to upgrade because Windows is too “insecure” for their games.
