Quick, someone pretend to be “the Linux company” and convince him to buy it!
Noo, I don’t want Linux to be sold to Elon…
As the CEO of Linux, I’ve had long and intense discussions with Mr Musk about the future of the company if he were to buy it, and I have come to the conclusion that he is a very good and smart businessman. There is no doubt in my mind that our company will thrive under his competent leadership. The Linux Corporation™ is therefore proud to announce that we have decided to accept his gracious offer of 69 billion US dollars, payable in $100 Google Play gift cards.
You forgot to tell them that our head office is…
300 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118
…and all the play cards should be sent there!
But they’re playing pretend
Is it purely because Linux has the letter “X” in it?
First thing he’ll do is write Torvalds and suggest a minor change to the naming.
given Linus’ flair for writing replies, I would love to see him rip into Elon.
I really appreciate Linus trying to tone down the nastiness in his replies over the years, but I’d be willing to let almost anything slide if it means getting a proper, old-school Torvalds tear-down of Musk.
LinuX: in honor of the LinuX Foundation’s new sponsor, X.
He’ll get very virulent in the X vs Wayland debate before he even learns what these mean.
Ugh no keep my Linux Elon free
He’s gonna do an enshittified distro, just you wait…
Honestly I’d be funny to see
Well, if it acts as a gateway drug (like ubuntu), then we are on the good side, right?
Maybe. But it’s only really a gateway drug in my opinion.
I’ve only ever tried one distro. Please enlighten me on what’s wrong with Ubuntu.
Nothing is really wrong with any distro. They each just have they general strengths and weaknesses. Different distros for specific tasks.
It’s all just a flame war.
Nothing really. Distros have different goals. Some distros have more access to bleeding edge updates than ubuntu.
Some don’t like that ubuntu forces you to use the snap store, which is proprietary, with packages that are larger and run slow and hog a lot of memory compared to other package managers (such as apt)
This is starting to be some years back, but I was exclusively using apt when I was using Ubuntu, have they gone away from that?

Protect the briefcase!
Yo, little help here?
Stand back son!
(Types on keypad) 1 1 1… Err… 1!
X was already a thing in Linux before Elon had a dream.
Fucking go ahead and take it though Elon. Wayland for the win.

I’ll wait and see how this turns out, but I’ll keep openbsd.org open in my browser. Just in case.
NetBSD for me.
Well, even an ape can type a book if he types long enough.
Even a dumb hen can find an egg.
Etc, etc.a broken clock is right twice a day
No this dipshit just says whatever he thinks is going to be the most popular with the tech bros he is desperate to be in front of.
He could always learn it. Maybe go to his local community college and take a programming class. He could take an intro physics class as well. Might help him out.
If he had any part in Tesla productions, he already would. Or any part of SpaceX.
He’s a funny guy.
And, how does what you said cancel out what you responded to?
Not sure what relevance a broken clock has to the discussion or the OP.
It’s an expression. In this context Elon is the broken clock and saying desktops should run Linux is one of the rare times he’s been right about something.
rare times he’s been right about something.
Started a space company, and an EV company. Both longshots, both wildly successful.
Bought Twitter. Laid of 80% of the employees. Still runs totally fine.
Your position is nakedly indefensible. I’d be curious what you think he’s actually wrong about.
Time to switch to BSD /s
Actually, I have been leaning towards BSD for the past year or so, so it might not be such a bad idea.
which bsd?
NetBSD most likely, it supports the arches I’m after.
I have been using Linux since 1993. Maybe it is time to move on.
Where are you headed next?
See you all in the Solaris community
Man I miss the real Solaris. Fuck Oracle. At least IRIX never turned to shit
Open Mainframe?
bsd?
These comments are insane. Even Hitler washed his hands. Are you gonna stop doing that just cause a piece of shit agreed it was good?
Nah, probably not, lol.
But I have been meaning to try some BSD flavors to be honest.
I mean I wouldn’t mind if he bought a bunch of computer manufacturers and made them switch to Linux. Would be a better use of his money than whatever he’s doing with it now.
I her make it all paywall and subscription based. Probably laced with spy tools, new terms of use every few months followed by deactivation for some dumb reason
