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.

Isn't this guy a right-wing nut/borderline fascist?
Yes, but don't mention it to the people that only care about their eye candy because they get very mad when you do that.
Edit: as predicted, the chuds are assmad.
And OP gets very mad when you call out this premium dotfile subscription bs, and proceeds to delete threads.
What's there to call out about it?
You don't see anything wrong with putting tools to make it more accessible for new users and nontechnical people behind a subscription?
There's no tools for more accessibility. Those are custom shell scripts that anyone can make and are also available to download for free. Are you actually braindead or you think selling software is just wrong? It's just a quickshell config lmao. Gnome, kde a lot of foss originations take donations. This is just that with custom rice made by some of the active community members. You can download them for free on their githubs.
No wonder Linux has such little support from companies. It's filled with braindead people like you.
Yea it's not like there's proof of any of that other than old edgy discord messages of a teenager. blahaj user for sure was very normal in their teen years xD.
He was banned from Free desktop two years ago for the transphobia in his discord. It wasnt some decade old messages from when he was a kid.
You are just lying now. He made no transphobic statements. It was a mod that nicknamed a trans troll "who/cares", who was already removed by then. He was banned for not complying with free desktop's coc. Also awesome how much Free Desktop is contributing now after they remove their only active contributor xD. Also it was an year ago not two. The incident they were investigating was then two years old. Here is the Drew's blog for proper info.
Reading that email exchange alone, he's clearly a right-wing nut at least. This needs to be called out at every mention of him, especially when he begs for money.
Yea. What did you contribute to wlroots? What did the power tripped FDO coc handler contribute to wlroots? Lmao
What did you contribute to italian trains running on time?
Answer mine I'll answer yours degen
I did not say he said something transphobic, reread my message. I said he was banned for the transphobia in his discord, the community space that he runs and is responsible for, especially in the case of actions by other mods.
My bad on the date, but I really dont think it being 3 years ago makes a big difference. He was still an adult at the time.
Besides that event, hes just an asshole. This is obvious from the email exchange and from his blog posts.
He was not banned for the transphobia in his discord tho. And no he wasn't an adult at that time. So do you even read or just yap? I didn't link Varxys vlog, I linked Drew's. Just lying so confidentially lol. Good thing he got banned. FDO has held x11 and wayland hostage anyways.
Thanks for confirming.
