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.

Time Enforcement Software for Linux? (lemmy.today)

Hello,

I am looking for a program that can force me to stop using Linux when I need to do something else, like eating dinner or going to bed.

This time enforcement could be as simple as changing the user password and then logging me out at a certain time (of course it should also change the password back later)

It should also require a password (different from the user password) to change its settings or uninstall it, so that I can't tamper with it in a weak moment.

Is there such a program for Linux?

Not necessary the operating system it self, but the things I do with Linux, like researching stuff, enganging in discussion's and playing games, are addictive for me

Researching what? Engaging what? What aspect of this has to do with Linux?

[–] Remy@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I do them with Linux, why is this so hard to understand?

One are you a researcher or just Wikipedia-ing things? Two again you’ve provided no examples of how Linux makes this better in any way. Three you just have a computer addiction and are blaming it on an OS

I never blamed Linux for it, I would have the same problem with Windows or MacOS.

But since I use Linux, I ask for a solution that works on Linux

[–] comrademiao@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You say linux three times in your post on a linux com, bruh

[–] Remy@lemmy.today 1 points 23 hours ago

So that you understand the point.

If I would be on Windows, I would ask for a Windows solution
