GNU fête ses 40 ans

Le système d’exploitation GNU fête en ce moment ses 40 ans. Le projet, initié par Richard Stallman, a donné naissance à un courant de pensée, qui s’est plus tard matérialisé dans la Free Software Foundation. On lui doit également la notion de copyleft.

Some nights, I lie awake, admiring the tenacity and talent of my 1960s predecessors who had to write the #OS, the #compilers, and the tools in #assembly, every time a new #processor architecture comes out—which was quite frequent in those days.

"The Mimosa #OS consists of a minimal #kernel built on C++ and #Scheme. It contains a Scheme implementation of a hard drive (ATA) driver, keyboard (PS2), serial (8250 UART), FAT32 filesystem and a small real time clock manager. The project was built to experiment with developement of operating system using a high level functional language to study the developement process and the use of Scheme to build a fairly complex system."

Let's download some free RAM.

I've been thinking, since you can set your swap to be stored on a virtual drive (gdrive is one I've seen, NAS as well, s3-compat possible), and while, yes, the latency is horrific (and the idea is a bit of fun rubbish in utility), it could be massively useful for increasing 'active' ram usage in older devices/operating systems <2000 if you can work out the networking stack and perhaps a FUSE model on them.

The Rise and Fall of the Operating System

"We ended up building a #unikernel based on the drivers offered by rump kernels via rumpkernel.org: Rumprun. We were not trying to build an #OS-like layer but one day simply realized that we could build one which would just work, with minimal effort. The noteworthiness of the Rumprun unikernel does not come from the fact that existing software such as Nginx, PHP, and mpg123 can be cross-compiled in the normal fashion and then run directly on the cloud or on bare metal. The noteworthiness comes from the fact that the implementation is a few thousand lines of code ... plus drivers. The ratio of drivers to “operating system” is on the order of 100:1, so there is very little operating system in there. The #Rumprun implementation is that of an orchestrating system, which conducts the drivers."

Por casualidad me he enterado que el telefono movil #pinephone Pro de la casa #pine64 viene con #manjaro #linux, siendo de esta forma junto a #ubports probablemente los unicos #OS de la comunidad Linux 100% compatibles con la distro Linux.
¿No se si se entiendo la paradoja?

¿Alguien tiene algun sabor de PinePhone? ¿Como lo calificaria?

https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4562

No interest in using the #Ubuntu release, but this latest LMDE based on #Debian 12 Bookworm feels very solid and polished already.

I usually just use #Debian, but the additions and utilities by the #Mint team all feel like an enhancement to the overall Debian experience. The #Cinnamon DE is pretty nice to use too.

On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds, introduced the world to Linux through an online post. Linus Torvalds developed the kernel, initially shared as source code, and later as bootable floppy disk images, becoming much popular years later!

Early distributions included Torvalds's "Boot-Root" images, MCC Interim Linux, Softlanding Linux System (SLS), H.J. Lu's "bootable rootdisks," and Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X, a commercial distribution.

#Tech #Linux #TechHistory #August #OS

Linux 0.12 Boot and Root Disks which were on 5.25” floppy diskettes
SLS Linux 1.05, 1994. What a nice blue GUI.

“Gentle Touchdowns for DOS Bailouts” was SLS's slogan they say
Ahh, Yggdrasil. My all-time favourite Linux distro from the 90s. It could automatically configure itself on system hardware as “Plug-and-Play”, which is a very regular and known feature in today’s time. The later versions of Yggdrasil included a hack for running any proprietary MS-DOS CD-ROM driver within Linux.
MCC Interim Linux was the first Linux distribution for novice users with a menu-driven installer and end-user/programming tools.

It did not require using a hex editor to edit the MBR.

@chirpbirb And that's why I install distros like @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS:

#Normies don't care about the #OS,

All they care about is how to #consoom #SocialMedia and maybe sending an #eMail or printing a letter..

And that's why I act as #BenevolentDictator and forcibly migrate #TechIlliterates to it!

Is there (for now, on Mac) a setup, with which i could use a secondary monitor to pin certain windows / processes? Mainly i need to keep an eye on build status, maybe a slack window, but otherwise i don't need to interact with it really. But i also don't want it to disappear when i tab to different windows.

@marcan this reminds me how #Linux also was the first #OS to run on #Itanium and how the #GCC is even the best compiler for that architecture - even better than #Intel's own!

But yeah, the only thing that would make @AsahiLinux even faster on #AppleSilicon would be if compiling stuff would be done entirely in RAM wherever possible, leveraging 10x->1000x more IOPS and lower latency.

Any word on that whole Fuchsia operating system out of Google? I know they put it in Home hubs but is it wowing any academics with its kernel or inspiring CS research or otherwise not being just a blip? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(operating_system)

So, after a bit of utilizing both desktops, I've decided to daily drive #Fedora with #GNOME over openSUSE and KDE.

There is something so... Fedora just clicks, dude. It works so well outta the box and feels like a great *almost* stock experience.

I love really getting to make my desktops mine with a fair bit of stability, Fedora provides this in spades. 💞 #Linux #OS

An operating system in 512 bytes? Why not?

PonyDOS is an operating system kernel written in x86 Assembly that fits within 512 bytes. It even provides mouse and text window support.

I continue:
- to occasionally muck about with my #Fedora #Kinoite & #oS #MicroOS VMs.
- my scepticism that immutables have any credible use FOR ME.
- to find more Cons than Pros. Here's another i just rediscovered today.

In ALL my "std" #KDEPlasma systems [multiple distros, both my PCs, multiple VMs] one of my most-used apps is #Yakuake, [dropdown terminal]. I want this also in my immutables.

K & M don't have it ootb. It's not in [real] #Flathub. HOW do i install it, yet stay "immutable"?
