Struggling to Understand Kernel and OS Separation
-
By the way, Wikipedia says that Corel Linux was an OS. Just saying.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corel_Linux
THis is another one that @cnewman asked us to verify with. A rare OS that didn't last even a year disappearing in 2000. Yeah, sixteen years ago. Corel Linux was dead and gone for eight years before Linspire packed up and vanished.
I feel like he's intentionally searching out OSes in the hope that no one knows what the words were any longer to try to hide his shame. Or does he really think that these are the Linux based OSes around?
-
Likewise, Mandrake Linux disappeared in 2005. Now we could give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he meant Mandriva, not Mandrake, and that would give him until 2011. Still, either five years or eleven years since those products disappeared.
-
It's telling that @cnewman failed to even be able to name a single current or business class OS built on Linux. None have existed for at least five years. All three were total jokes in their time - all meant for children or hobbyists or really, really incapable and non-technical end users.
And all three were specifically built around an all-GUI experience which goes against @cnewman's own claims that Linux cannot have a GUI as he defined it as being GUIless as part of what made it Linux.
Clearly, he's never even encountered a Linux system before. Over and over again the same issues... not even able to produce a plausible lie.

Wow, is all I can say on this thread....

Yeah, that about sums it all up.

Hey @cnewman didn't want you to forget to get back to us with the responses from your references. We are all very interested to hear what Corel and Linspire have to say about all of this. Their input will be most valuable.
-
Okay @cnewman just checking to see how those responses from your references are working out? I'm sure that they are very anxious for you to share their responses with the public so that we can figure out what Linux is. The technical world is waiting on you to enlighten us. Any day now, just go ahead and post.

Also wondering how the new HP DRM is affecting your printer programming career.

How's your Lindows installs coming?
-
I just re-read this thread and it makes me smile. Can we do a weekly AMA with @cnewman ?

Now that is a great idea. It would be the most popular thing ever.

Many things use a linux kernel, Android. Heck we even have serial network servers (headless thing) run Linux kernels but not a full blown OS.
-
Wait until you see the hardware as software explosion in the next couple years. It'll soon be impossible to tell the divide between them.
-
Hey @cnewman we've not heard back from your sources yet. You were going to get some Linux people from the distant past to provide us some insight into this. Didn't want you to think that we forgot or weren't taking this seriously. So just a reminder that we are waiting on that info. Thanks!

Necro thread that made me laugh again :face_with_tears_of_joy:

this was defiantly a popcorn thread, cannot believe that was back in 2016.

Yeah definitely seems more recent than that.
-
Wow. Why even let that go on? Why not just instaban?
-
I find your post confusing and stupid and wish I could delete it from my mind forever. I thought you should know that, maybe you can google how to write good forum posts, any 5 year old can -- at least you say so. It may be an old thread but these kinds of people come along a lot so this one is for the scholars... the future forum archaeologists.

Did somebody say popcorn?
