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.

Can we stop giving attention to those far right weirdos?
I don't think OP disagrees with these types of people
They continue:
(https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=23857908):
I wish this wasn't removed. They straight up out themselves as a xenophobe.
Have you tried not considering "giving attention" as something essential/mandatory?
Yuck, nazi
Heard Lunduke went super into the deep end but "suggesting" that you follow Christian commandments in the ethics is wild.

lol, so much for a project that has "No Weird Politics." as a core set of idea in the very first paragraph of its README.
Thou shalt not kill other contributors.
That's way too tame... I fear it won't attract 8M in funding.
Jokes aside, the Christian commandments are quite lacking (insufficient) when it comes to contemporary morals... eg. there's nothing forbidding discrimination or violence (short of homicide) or slavery or corruption or torture or neglicence etc. (and this is if one quite generously interprets "your neighbor" as "anybody else", which is clearly not what the word means and which doesn't explain why only some of the precepts have this "universal restriction").
I always find it weird when people cite the commandments as a moral compass without integrating them with (very much necessary) additional prescriptions.
While unusual and on the face of it perhaps not very relevant to a project to develop an operating system, in the context of freely and generously sharing the project, explicitly open to all, including all religions, and a meritocracy, I don't find sharing one's sincere beliefs offensive. While the focus might be on computers and software, the open source community is, first and foremost, a community of people with values that lead them to share their work. As long as he is sincere in his beliefs, I respect his promotion of them, even if I don't entirely agree with them. Better that than the likes of Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk and so many others.
You shall have no other gods before Me.
If he is sincere in his beliefs then he won't be able to follow the "no discrimination based on religion" part of the code.
It's true, but we're all conflicted and imperfect. Give him credit for being open to other ideas, despite the conflict.
He's a Q lol, he's not open to other ideas
I don't know him. What's a Q?
Qanon. To be fair though, i can't say for sure he is a Q cause i haven't looked into his channel too much, but i do know he's a right wing grifter who uses maga talking points, and maga and qanon kinda go hand in hand.
How vain must he be to name an OS after himself.
At least call it LunOS or something. See Debian, which is Deb+Ian, but it at least sounds good and has a sweet backstory. LCOS sounds like an illness (PCOS, anyone?).
I liked the guy way back when but some day he just seemed to become a bit crazy. Made his content unwatchable. What narcissism and trauma does to people...
I sincerely hope he one day gets treatment for his trauma which probably caused the shift in personality, and I hope Bryan will be a healthier and better person one day.
That said, why try an OS by one guy which doesn't even offer anything above what is already on the market. At least be creative and innovative...
I met him in person around 2014-2015 and I have to agree. I use to watch his old stuff but something changed and I stopped
Yeah I think it was around Covid where he got weird. Sad to see...
