"I must say the Linux community is a lot nicer than the Unix community. A negative comment on Unix would warrant death threats. With Linux, it is like stirring up a nest of butterflies."
--Ken Thompson
Is this still true or Unix neckbeards invaded Linux community too?
The Linux community is a Unix community.
^ What this user said.
GNU+Terrorism
Linux is a kernel.
Unix was a system.
I'm talking about the milieu, you retard.
Not in the same way, Linux runs on most everything and was always trying to prove itself agaisnt the commercial unices, which typically only ran on the vendors machines.
Thus Unix wars were double whammy of software and hardware shilling.
Where Linux is only about the software side and the software is free.
Consider than OSX users are Gaybreads.
Butterflies don't build nests.

You can't make ketchup out of Linux, but you can fellate it endlessly.
Tomato: 0
Banana: 1
LINUX
Is
Not
Unix
That is to do with the social environment.
If you criticise Linux, a few people will get huffy, but a few more will look into the problem.
If you criticise AIX in an AIX shop, you get shot.
ditto for Solaris, HP-UX, SCO, et al.
Linux is Unix, Unix isn't Linux. REEEKKKKKKT!
...
There is no Unix community. Unix is long dead, UNIX is a trademark you can buy w cert for when you're a faggot like Apple, so it says nothing too.
Stop the unix memery. Unix was shit and proprietary anyway. No need to glorify.

But Linux IS Unix, fagboy.
>Unix is long dead
Only smells funny. Opinion discarded.
linux is not an acronym retard
Cry harder, stupid autistic faggot.

Yes, it was created by Linus Is Not Uinus X. Torvalds

He's wrong. Linux is not unix, Linus didn't write Linux to be so. Furthermore the mainline kernel is not unix certified either.
Goddam, I hate how arrogant Jow Forums is. Who the fuck do you actually think you are? You're no one, buddy, you will amount to nothing.

Also, if you keep watching the video, at minute 24:10
>'I started Linux as a desktop OPERATING SYSTEM'
Just in case people keep up that gahnnoo slash Linux bullcrap
>I hate how arrogant Jow Forums is.
I am very arrogant, I know
>I want to have Unix at home
Which is why he made a Unix-like OS
>'I started Linux as a desktop OPERATING SYSTEM'
He did, and the symbiotic relationship with that kernel and GNU coreutils gave birth to GNU/Linux. This does not mean that your distro is unix.
Any more questions?
You must be GNU around here, we always side with Daimyō Stallman.
>I argue based on semantics, not concepts.
Lol, you're so dumb for someone who thinks they're so smart. Classic Dunning-Kruger.
`Concept` is vague. I only deal with facts. When you say Linux is Unix, I call bullshit. Nothing wrong there.

shiggy diggy.
Here's your final nail to your coffin

>Implying everone on Jow Forums follows that hippie or his ideals.
holy shit are you seriously being this pedantic? literally no one gives a fuck what the open group certifies.
do you get this rustled when people refer to off-brand tissues as kleenex, too?
how could you call something gigantic and monolithic like linux unix?
Unix philosophy is not far-sighted. Many unix tools aren't unix themselves.
Yes, mono kernels go against the philosophy.
>Q: Is Linux Unix?
A: Officially an operating system is not allowed to be called a Unix until it passes the Open Group's certification tests, and supports the necessary API's. Nobody has yet stepped forward to pay the large fees that certification involves, so we're not allowed to call it Unix. Certification really doesn't mean very much anyway. Very few of the commercial operating systems have passed the Open Group tests.
A: Unofficially, Linux is very similar to the operating systems which are known as Unix, and for many purposes they are equivalent. Linux the kernel is an operating system kernel that behaves and performs similarly to the famous Unix operating system from AT&T Bell Labs. Linux is often called a "Unix-like" operating system. For more information, see unix-systems.org
If anything, that site speaks against your argument.
This site says Linux is not Unix and says why. I don't see where you are getting at.

Basically,
>Legally, we're not allowed to, but you bet your ass we are
Mac OSX is the best anyway
If you are not legally allowed to, don't do so. Linux is not bound to oblige by the Unix certification rules.
need sauce nao
>caring this much about a certification
>a certification
Besides, you haven't given arguments regarding your belief.
Am I being insane for not abiding by and respecting the legality here?
> your belief.
All my beliefs are backed by proper citation. Fact is, and always will be that Linux has no obligation towards the Open Group.
>the legality of semantics
Fuck yes, you officious pedantic asshat.
A kernel is an operating system proper. This Garry Taylor seems not to know what he's talking about.
By your logic, is ReactOS is Windows?
>is ReactOs Windows?
In name? No
In functionality (since that's its end goal)? Absolutely
is literally .
I think this thread is a massive derp as everyone kinda lost the focus of the actual point.
The man in the OP is talking about the people at AT&T etc.. that did the original Unix operating system, not about the OS.
