That was the whole Redhat business model when they just started.

MICROS~1

The PC case with Turbo button was originally 486-DX, but there was no place on the new K6 motherboard to plug it into.

People are boasting about Arch, but my first open-source OS was FreeBSD 4.2, fitting on a single CD-ROM.
It included a tiny base system and C compiler, and practically every other package had to be compiled from source, using the ports system, which was just a collection of makefiles, one for each package.
And you had to be careful to use gmake instead of make, because the default Make was BSD-specific tool incompatible with most of open-source software, which targeted Linux. And you had to make sure to use GNU versions of grep, sed, and awk, and remove all bashisms from shell scripts, because /bin/sh was of course incompatible with bash.
You had only about 50% chance that a given package would compile. Package manager? What package manager? Just run suand then make install.
And my PC was AMD K6, and it had Turbo button, which did absolutely nothing. And I was very proud of my TEAC CD drive.

You lose:

• Your corporate shackles

You gain:

• Limitless bragging rights

I remember the time when Linux jokes were about audio drivers and X11 config files, but audio has long been working out of the box, and X11 is already dead and cremated.

Even recompiling kernel now takes around five minutes instead of two hours, so that joke is irrelevant too.

So all we are left with is timeless discussion of which text editor is the best, and dumping on Windows.

The correct spelling is DBMS. The picture is accurate though.

Android has BSD-like permissive license. It’s open-source, but is also very very commercial. Google needed it to be open-source so phone manufacturers would adopt it, they all got burned on Windows Phone and Symbian and did not want another closed source OS that they could not modify for their specific hardware.

“Ewww, Windowsssss!”

Pinch my nose, spray my fingers with hand sanitizer, then walk away from their desk.

More like “demonetization”.

“If only we could create a software that makes a core of our business at no cost” - the thoughts of every business owner.

The pizza must be baked for 60–90 seconds in a 485 °C (905 °F) stone oven

My soldering iron only goes up to 450 ⁰C, and my Pb-free solder is melting at around 310 ⁰C.

90 seconds at 485 ⁰C will burn off the insulation on every cable in whatever I’m soldering. Gotta respect the pizza.

Bought by a dwarf who had little idea how tall humans can really grow, so he bought the biggest size.

And the results are heeeeeeeeere!

Spoiler: dpkg is the winner, but popular vote goes to perl-base. libc6 is at the distant 28-th place, which makes no sense to me.

There is a whole lot of demand from industrial equipment manufacturers. When you attach a computer to your twenty thousand bucks robot arm or CNC drill, you need it small, reliable, readily-available, and brand-new, so you slightly overpay for Pi 5 for $200 and an SSD drive for another $200 to not rely on faulty SD cards, and if it breaks you can buy and replace it in 15 minutes, and future Raspberry Pi 6 will most probably boot from the same SSD and work with zero modifications, even contacts placement will be the same. Does it need 16 GB? Probably not.

Also, drone manifacturers. 16 GB RAM is just enough to run a computer vision AI model, and you won’t haul a used HP laptop on a drone.

My coworker has a separate monitor tilted vertically to have a permanently open terminal window.

Install Wallhaven plugin, then you can have two different wallpapers that are changed each ten minutes.

THE SKELETAL HAND!

And the veiny hand. Looks like there are several imaging modes.

But, but, eighty bucks! TI boards are seriously overpriced.
