      To be fair, bash was released a decade before the XDG specs.

        Ah true. Bash doesn’t bug me as much as Zotero cause at least it’s a .bashrc file. With Zotero it’s a whole folder! In $HOME! Absolute madness!

        I’m using the Snap Flatpack of Steam, but I’m thinking of wrapping that in an AppImage because screw all of these idiot distribution walled gardens.

            Yeah, it was supposed to be a snarky joke about the horrible trend of packaging in app stores, but I suspect it feel through, and everyone is just interpreting it how they like. I think including AppImage threw the joke off, because that one doesn’t suck so much.

              “appimage doesn’t suck” is a funnier joke than the original.

                “… so much.” Don’t leave the important qualifiers out!

                  I could argue that it’s the worst of the three… Appimage is awful.

                    No proprietary app store, no server to run, no additional software to install… truely stand-alone applications… what’s not to like?

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.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
