Why would it be? It's perfect as is. It is the only divinely inspired operating system.
@scaryred24 wiki says it was updated in November, 2017
oh boy are we back to Linux doomsaying over tweets again?
well it seem like everything thus far was only hardened back then for whatever reason
you cant gatekeep GPL-2. They dont have to accept commits (if this goes all the way to the top) but they cant prevent a fork
so worst comes to worst Linux setup gets a little harder because not enough of the distros avoid the cancer edition
so this idea that people have "taken over" a free and open source work is silly
especially if they manage to drive out people who would rather not work in a hostile witchhunt-ridden environment, which they almost certainly will
the main problem becomes, since they are throwing out meritocracy, how many systems may end up paralyzed by shitty code because they were not aware such a change happened.
well you just revert to a prior ed if that happens
I feel like people are too used to Microsoft now. You can just not use shit in Linux
people are not the problem
i'm thinking servers
I just mean this idea that there's all these insurmountable problems
people dont just hop to new versions willy nilly my dude
you get one sacrificial lamb machine so you can vett the changes
then if it sucks, its stuck there, potentially with a security flaw, until they are switched over to a new non cancerous version
which happens on one non essential machine
which then just gets reverted
very *very* minor damages
unless the whole IT department is on crack
like MS released a fucked update just like... this year?
this shit happens fairly often
yes, but that is not a forced migration to an entirely new os
just revert and wait for ms to fix itself
you can just use an old version of an OS
like most companies already do with windows
the ones not concerned with security yes
not really. Not all machines need to be win10 for security purposes lol
plus if the new update is fucked, that's a bigger security issue
well if thats how you want to look at things, then i hate to break it to you but everything is a security loophole
as for the code they want to revoke, this will mean that the os itself would be crippled
prior versions are still available
if they do take back their code they help contribute, it wont just open up security holes, it would also make certain things what we generally depend upon upright mia
this dispute is whether or not CoCLinux can keep the shit
well heres the dilema for older versions
not whether or not every version of Linux gets taken apart
it doesnt work like that
certain distros will need certain variants of certain dependencies
