Other than loonix nerds and hobbyists no one else will buy them, just like with raspberry pis. For 99% of people it will only cause confusion as they are only familiar with macos and windows pcs so far.
The omarchy hate is just arch loonixers being elitists and gatekeeping new users. As usual for them.
It's such a trash package manager... This is the second time flatpak update doesn't work this month and like last time I couldn't fix it with grok or by running the command multiple times. Windows update has worked flawlessly for over a year on my windows partition (except sometimes updates fail to download or show some other random error, although clicking try again always fixes the issue)
The year of the loonix desktop is a joke 😂
Don't get me wrong, almost everything about loonix sucks: the now reduced hardware compatibility, the os design, package managers, the terminal, most distros, the codebase bloat and every other aspect of it except one: The fact that it's creator, linus torvalds, is supportive of generative ai. He has no issue with submitting code made with assistance from ai coding agents to the kernel and he even uses ai tools himself. He did so recently to fix a bug in the intel gpu driver. Unlike what most of you beleive he actually does vibecode too, he made a project a few months ago using google's antigravity ai code editor and let the ai write the whole thing.
Moving your fingers waste a lot of time. Just like we got rid of mouse, we need to get rid of the keyboard too and come up with a better alternative. And sitting on a dedicated desk is also bad for productivity because you have to get up and go to the bathroom to shit, wasting alot of time. So I moved the setup to the bathroom and the keyboard is on the bowl. Now you just have to move your ass and twerk to operate the computer, saving time that was getting wasted in moving your fingers and hand. Before you had to move 10 fingers and 2 arms, which is 12 limbs, but now it's just 1. All you need to do now is move your cheeks right and left, skyrocketing productivity 12x. And you can also shit on the same place, saving the time that was getting wasted going to the bathroom
ik u hate that sub but this meme is so accurate, loonix users flee microsoft and windows but then continue to use proprietary software from different corporations...
Yesterday on my cachyos laptop updating my flatpaks kept failing with this error:
New com.usebottles.bottles permissions: file access [1][1] xdg-data/umu:create

Today it the updates installed fine trough kde discover like nothing happened. This is worse than windows cuz windows update at least tells you to "try again later" instead of a cryptic error message only loonix nerds can decipher.
would they be able to free it from richard stallman's gpl virus assuming not a single line of code was re-used?
Ok. I've spent all day today on chasing this down in between merge
window work, since it finally *was* repeatable.
And the fix ends up being basically a one-liner, even if the debug
session to get there was not.
The Xe driver takes the memory address used for the memory stolen for
CCS, and rounds it up to the nearest 128kB area.
And that is very VERY wrong, because it means that the xe driver will
then *use* that part of memory that wasn't at a 128kB boundary. And
the HW engine will too and write to it.
And when that memory happens ot be used for GPU page tables, very bad
things happen.
I bet this also explains some occasional random screen corruption I've
seen - when the memory isn't used for something as important as a page
table, it "only" corrupts random bitmap memory and the like.
I committed the fix as commit 818bebeb63dd ("drm/xe: Don't hand out
the flat CCS storage as usable VRAM").
Adding some people from commit 37173392741c ("drm/xe/vram: fix ccs
offset calculation") to the cc, because that's where the problem came
from. Two years ago. I'm not sure why it became so repeatable for me
now, but some user space behavior change clearly triggered it now
pretty much every single boot.

>[ And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI
doing much of the grunt-work.
I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times
stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we
should just write a report about it.
I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be
quite as stubborn as I am.
But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep
adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed. So credit
where credit is due and I let the AI write the commit message above.
This is basically a one-liner fixing a bogus "round_up()" to a
"round_down()", but there were 24 patches adding more and more debug
information to this, and 18 kernel boot to finally narrow it down to
this. - Linus ]
According to my research I did with gemini it would significantly reduce the bugs and vulnerabilities in the loonix kernel's code cuz it's a "memory safe" language. Obviously it would take ages if the rewrite would be done by hand considering how bloated loonix's code is but I estimate it could be completed within a week if modern agentic ai tools were used. Many ai haters would unfortunately complain, call it "slop" and maybe switch to bsd or another weird os while in reality it would be a significant security improvement. Linus is thankfully pro ai so I think he wouldn't have a problem with ai written code in the kernel.
U can't reverse engineer software or analyze an os with ai if u don't have access to the code u dumbasses.
Hackers can use state of the art AI tools to trivially find security holes in open source oses like loonix at the kernel level. They can't do that with closed source proprietary operating systems like windows though cuz there's no code to feed into the AI, so vulnerability hunting is much harder and time consuming and therefore the os is more secure.
Shilling on loonix and hating on windows is one of the easiest ways to karma farm on reddit
It had an integrated agentic ai assistant with full system access that you couldn't remove or disable? Which one do u hate more windows or AI?
There's only 1 good os and it's called 🪟
I made a custom version of the loonix kernel, compiled it and upload it here without the source code? Imagine how mad the open soyce evangelists would get 😂 Actually I don't really know how to compile anything that but chatgpt will definitely help me with that...
