Discussion:
The Truth About Distros and Jim Jones

Some losers want power, and in the world of GNU/Linux the way
for losers to acquire "power" is by developing a DISTRO.

A distro is nothing more than simple curation and packaging of the
work of many talented others but the distro maintainer is easily deluded
into believing that such simple, brainless activities constitute pure power.

Every distro maintainer is like Jim Jones:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones

What is even worse than the cheap distro despot is the cheap distro
follower who will swallow, without question, all the decrees and
dictums of the distro master.

We have Jim Jones all over again, with the lackey sheep drinking
the systemd Kool Aid:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor_Aid

Pathetic is too weak of a word to describe the state of GNU/Linux.

GNU/Linux is the only software freedom but, because of distro despots
and user lackeys, cannot be totally realized.

I disagee w/ your thesis; I don't believe that is typically the
'thinking' of a distro 'developer' or distro spinner. First, there's
the very wide range of the difference between a 'distro' that spins off
something else by 'great effort' such as Ubuntu off Debian. Or Manjaro
off Arch; and that of somewhat less but also significant effort such as
Mint off Ubuntu.

But, we'll consider that there are a lot of other distro/s which are
much more like 'spins' which develop some themes and choices w/o nearly
as much 'effort' as above, such as LXDE off Lubuntu 18.04 which also
developed its own unique profile of SeaMonkey as part of a significant
family of choices and tweaks.

And, further down the line are those 'distro/s' which just identify
themselves as community spins off the more distinct distro/s official
releases, such as the community spins of Manjaro as .iso/s separate from
the official releases. Or, Neon as the freshest KDE off Ubuntu as
opposed to Kubuntu's approach.

I disagree that that is what they think. Also that you have any special
insight into what they think.
The Jim Jones story is interesting but I don't find that it has anything
to do w/ distro forks and spins and 'repackaging' and theming.

There are all varieties of linux users; ranging from those who like to
roll their own pretty much from scratch to those who are more
Windows-like; who just want a 'prepackaged' OS which appeals to them
very much just like it came out of the box and who aren't even very
interested in mild 'customizations' for their own taste.

I find your 'opinionation' too strong -- what makes you think that you
are the Grand PooBah who is in charge of judging everyone else for how
they should 'behave'. You are just another individual who has his own
tastes; just like a Windows user who has his own 'taste' of buying a
computer w/ Win on it and using it like that. No different.

Software freedom is grand. The great strides that linux has made
because of software freedom aren't really on the desktop but a lot of
other places. This just happens to be a place where many desktop linux
users congregate; and where your opinion is in the minority.

Over and over, the refrain is he wants to "talk tech", but the guy spends
most of his time whining about "obsession". Search for 'functionally illiterate
fraud' and Dustin Cook's name pop up: <https://www.google.com/search?q=dustin+cook%3A+functionally+illiterate+fraud>.
I just configured a kill filter and won't be impacted by the idiot. Steve
Carroll the Racist Swine's crap has made a full-out mess of usenet via GG,
so I don't waste time posting to the group with my tablet anymore. Only thing
he has done with this crap is that the Steve Carroll the Racist Swine boycott
is now done by everyone. Like most in here, Steve Carroll the Racist Swine
relies on false news to contrive positions on the news. As a result, he only
is familiar with and listens to the government stories which also are the
ones which paint communists in an absurdly positive and educated slant. Steven
"Racist Swine" Petruzzellis.

I bet he thinks his life was fun.

I'll never understand wannabe control freaks, like F. Russell. To me choice
is good. The more choice the better. I think he's frustrated because Linux
hasn't taken over on the desktop and he "thinks" he has the solution.
Personally I don't think there's a problem to solve. I like the variety. But
if F. Russell has the "answer" act on it. Make a distribution so good that
we'll all WANT to use it. Non-problem solved.

To many choice can be confusing. The most important thing is being able

good one, don't misunderstand me) of the possibilities given by the Open

It was Graham J who was openly asking how better to post his flooding.

Graham J is trying again to smear Sophos.

You can say I am Charlie Brown for all I care. The Mac has a more advanced
GUI. Even circuitry runs better on it.

How long has this debate been going on? My stance: Even if you were simply
learning by copying websites, the claim that earning an education as being
one of having "naught" to show for it doesn't follow because you will by
definition have the proficiency to show for it and knowledge is important
for the future.

Any heinously desperate sleep deprived whacko could easily do the same.

I don't understand that. Denseness is denseness and there are "advocates"
who are of one mind with it. Several are even programmers. In J. J. Lodder's
case, I, and a whole list of "forgers", had pointed to things J. J. Lodder
said and did, he responded with insults. What J. J. Lodder didn't deny was
people complaining about them, which is how he ended up with his list, as
you know. Despite my own feelings about AZ Code, I nonetheless continue
to use it for those who have had down time with Windows 7.

At times, fiction is more valuable than truth.

What were you thinking?

It was David who forged me and admitted to having done so.

Folks who have known David for quite a while, and also have experience
with him highly advise avoiding him to get him to troll someplace else.
As long as Steven Petruzzellis and anyone else continues to succumb to his
desires, he will not seek attention someplace else.

His method will never work towards "taking over the desktop", because he
does heavy customization and adjustements, whereas taking over the
desktop involves distributing the same iso to the masses and that it
works on every machine without having to do any thing at all. Automated.
Besides having killer apps. Which is what Windows does.

Peter Kohlmann is commonly seen alleging "THERE IS NO" when it comes to content
on Steve Petruzzellis's post where it is written with other words... but
Peter Kohlmann is just too stupid and lazy to discern any information he
finds... or he does not recognize it *as* data when he does see it. Your
system will crawl while this takes place. And it takes a long time. Peter
Kohlmann claims to be the screencasting-guru, let's see him put up an example
minus the shipping/handling routines. LXQt is perhaps my second favorite
DE and the only one I advocate to computer newbies. Primary interface is
Trinity, though. Low memory use is all you require after Peter Kohlmann messes
things up.

Just look at the effort Steve Petruzzellis once again had to spend to get
Peter Kohlmann able to pull messages from a message server via scripting.
Steve Petruzzellis once again, took mistreatment from Peter Kohlmann, instead
of a great thanks, sign of indebtedness, response - that I feel Steve Petruzzellis
was owed for the trouble and time he spent on the matter.

His hope is to see Steve Petruzzellis irritated by having me get blamed
for his actions. And hey, that could or could not... you know what I mean.

I'll never understand wannabe control freaks, like F. Russell. To me choice
is good. The more choice the better. I think he's frustrated because Linux
hasn't taken over on the desktop and he "thinks" he has the solution.
His method will never work towards "taking over the desktop", because he
does heavy customization and adjustements, whereas taking over the
desktop involves distributing the same iso to the masses and that it
works on every machine without having to do any thing at all. Automated.
Besides having killer apps. Which is what Windows does.

Personally I don't think there's a problem to solve. I like the variety. But
if F. Russell has the "answer" act on it. Make a distribution so good that
we'll all WANT to use it. Non-problem solved.
No, he despises distributions.

Peter Kohlmann is commonly seen alleging "THERE IS NO" when it comes to content
on Steve Petruzzellis's post where it is written with other words... but
Peter Kohlmann is just too stupid and lazy to discern any information he
finds... or he does not recognize it *as* data when he does see it. Your
system will crawl while this takes place. And it takes a long time. Peter
Kohlmann claims to be the screencasting-guru, let's see him put up an example
minus the shipping/handling routines. LXQt is perhaps my second favorite
DE and the only one I advocate to computer newbies. Primary interface is
Trinity, though. Low memory use is all you require after Peter Kohlmann messes
things up.
Just look at the effort Steve Petruzzellis once again had to spend to get
Peter Kohlmann able to pull messages from a message server via scripting.
Steve Petruzzellis once again, took mistreatment from Peter Kohlmann, instead
of a great thanks, sign of indebtedness, response - that I feel Steve Petruzzellis
was owed for the trouble and time he spent on the matter.
His hope is to see Steve Petruzzellis irritated by having me get blamed
for his actions. And hey, that could or could not... you know what I mean.

Only what Apd wants matters to Apd. There is nothing you or I can do to
change that. It's a trolling addiction and it is what it is.

Anyway, it will never matter because the apparent origin on a post means
nothing, we know it is from Apd anyway. The content clearly is a bunch
of randomized Apd-like crap. That points to one person.

ChromeOS is based on Linux. Period. Just look at your posts and look
at Char Jackson's, there is nothing for anyone to learn from a fool like
Apd. But knock yourself out, let him keep making a dunce of himself. I
am sure one of his stooges will come to the rescue.

Some losers want power, and in the world of GNU/Linux the way
for losers to acquire "power" is by developing a DISTRO.
A distro is nothing more than simple curation and packaging of the
work of many talented others but the distro maintainer is easily deluded
into believing that such simple, brainless activities constitute pure power.

What is even worse than the cheap distro despot is the cheap distro
follower who will swallow, without question, all the decrees and
dictums of the distro master.

Pathetic is too weak of a word to describe the state of GNU/Linux.
GNU/Linux is the only software freedom but, because of distro despots
and user lackeys, cannot be totally realized.

What is even worse than the cheap distro despot is the cheap distro

dictums of the distro master.
And there's not a damned thing wrong with it.

The pick and blend of apps and utilities and fine settings
in a distro can make one much more appealing than
another, depending on your particular needs of the moment.
Smart "curation" yeilds good products.

A few distro-masters add apps of their own you don't normally
find elsewhere. MX is a fair example, they add a few utilities
you don't normally see, customized for their distro, like one to
make an ISO of your existing configuration from a running MX
system. OpenSUSE has "Yast" - which is a very smart and
helpful system config app cluster that can save you hours of
study and mistakes. Wanna build a RAID-6 array - you can do
it the HARD way (did that recently with Centos), or use Yast's
setup app and get it all going and decently tuned literally in
minutes - and a bunch of other things that normally require
tweaking half a dozen config files *just right* ........

So don't cuss the distro-makers. They package and polish so
YOU can have the perfect experience - for free (ok, except
RedHat :-) The Liniverse is vast, but what do YOU need out
of it, right now ? Distros provide that answer.

And, really, you CAN turn pretty much any distro into any other
if you want. I always load fairly minimial versions without all
the "recommeds" and then build them up to suit the exact
role of the moment. BUT - I want a great "minimal" base to
start with. Both vanilla Debian and OpenSUSE are great
places to start. Arch ... um ..... it makes you work too hard.
Feels almost easier to write your own OS from scratch :-)

to build a distro yourself. You are insanely jealous because you still
have to use your prebuilt win10-"distro"

No no. Chris never agreed to stop trolling. He lied about his trolling
and that was that. I bet Chris does not even know what is wrong with Trump.

Do not get too bigheaded, Chris, sometimes "your unquotable lies" are
just that.

Was that meant to be clever? Dustin Cook the functionally illiterate
fraud.

Gee, imagine Wolffan trying to pin his balderdash on Ian McCall and me,
no one has ever seen that before <eyeroll>. I don't know if there is a
no-cost FOSS solution or not.

Folks who've known Wolffan for quite a while, and also have experience
with him highly advise ignoring him to get him to dox someplace else.
As long as Ian McCall and anyone else continues to give him attention,
he won't seek an audience someplace else. You guys can only think from
the perspective of a programmer.

What's the world coming to when a Wolffan troll can't get any reaction?
