you would never know what would happen if you install programs on your computer
BASIC interpreters are not really a black box i guess
ur moms a blacked hole
Zachary Smith
You mean Windows. There is a precise fucking knowable sequence of alterations a fucking GNU/Linux distro package makes that can be cleanly reverted.
Fucking Winkid.

>what is orphaned packages >what is package tree
Blake Fisher
What is NixOS
Luis Smith
Not to mention each program installs to wherever the fuck it wants
Benjamin Morales
Unironically sudo apt purge program-name
Isaiah Rivera
>sudo apt purge program-name >wants to remove the entire desktop environment nothing personnel kid
Joseph Jackson
Why is it so hard for the OS to just keep a list of changes?
Cameron Green
GNU/Linux doesn't have that problem.
Jaxson Fisher
fuck gnome.
Ayden Myers
this, but unironically gnome is macos of IDEs
Logan Davis
lib-lets
Caleb Ward
U wot m8
Juan Russell
i mean DE, not IDE

which will fade in obscurity because corporations dont give a shit
>Want to remove some stupid internet comic widget in KDE >"This will also remove 20 other widgets, calculator, clock, calendar and your web browser, do you want to continue :)"
>corporationa don't give a shit about Fedora what is Redhat
William Hill
50 years later RHEL 58 will include silverblue for the first time
Gabriel Ward
I don't care about rhel I care about Fedora and Silverblue
Jonathan Butler
Stop bullying Gnome users this instant!
Robert Smith
Gnome is IDE?
Isaac Young
but companies that use linux cares about RHEL and don't care about fedora
Zachary Ramirez
NixOS solves all of this.
Kevin Lee
But Redhat cares about everything Fedora
James White
Literally whats that You dont have to install bloat botnet shit. If you want an OS that you control 100% unironically install gentoo/arch/lfs and start reading the source code. I mean you guys must be new around here, Jow Forums is obsessed with this kind of stuff
Asher Ward
It was told you plenty times: use Haiku, íts package manager can handle this.
Nathan Jackson
>arch What a great choice, considering it's full of propietary software.
Gabriel Hall
It is fucking not you retard, name two parts of the distribution that is proprietary AND you cant opt out. Why is that this board is only populated by literal autistic neckbeards and underage /v/intards? also >propietary
Owen Ortiz
The only way to know what your OS is up to is making your own OS.
Hudson Clark
Arch has no policy against distributing nonfree software through their normal channels, and nonfree blobs are shipped with their kernel, Linux. Instead of this nonfree distribution, useParabolaor Hyperbola, free distros which are made from it.
Cooper Morgan
I hate when program shits in my $HOME instead of it's .config/xxx containment space
