I don’t see anyone outside so it checks out.
They are all learning how to use the terminal.
They are inside trying to compile the software thst opens the automatic doors.
They will die there, because they need a slightly older version of some minor library for compatibility, and nobody cared enough to continue hosting it.
Sudo apt install sliding-doors if that doesn’t work check the snap store, best I can do 🤣
Real
Not really. Having heterogeneity among operating systems is better than pure homogeneity. Say, if everyone ran Linux, and some massive security flaw was discovered, we would all be screwed at the same time. However, if we ran different stuff, and some massive security hole was found for just one operating system, then only a small portion of the world is vulnerable at once. Besides, more operating systems can lead to more innovation, as long as there is good competition between them.
Aren’t the majority of computers already on Linux? Unless you mean desktops
Majority… yeah, Android smartphone and servers would be a really really big number.
Most computers in the world are not desktops

There’s probably one computer at most per employee, but each employee already has a non Windows cell phone. Most servers run Linux. Then there’s Linux in a bunch of small devices as well. Windows is a small part of that pie and only getting smaller.
Windows Server for usage in actual servers? Those companies must be retarded to the core.
Windows Server is rather common in large enterprise software. All the stuff you pray you never have to interface with
It sure is convenient. You get a user friendly GUI. But the stability, the resource intensity and the spyware. It’s really a retarded decision to build your servers on Windows Server.
Yes, but some software, and it’s usually a financial application, requires a Windows Server.
I’ve seen it more than once, as I had to set up the machine, I was dying inside, but there was just no alternative that the accounting could use.
It’s really common. The IT people know how to use Windows, and they need Active Directory to manage their Windows devices, so they just use Windows Server.
The problem is capitalism, not which kernel everything runs. And the reason FOSS isn’t universal is also capitalism.
It’s more complicated to make money producing FOSS, capitalism or not. Lots of reasonable developers would still choose closed source even without capitalism.
Making money is a capitalist adjacent idea. The premise that we need money to figure out how to allocate resources is foolish
I’m still waiting for someone to propose in detail an alternative.
Yeah, that’s the problem. We don’t have the requisite technology to build a Star Trek utopia. If only we did…
Well, if everything ran Linux…
The premise that we need money to figure out how to allocate resources is foolish
Money not necessarily, we need to calculate costs (and minimize it) in distributed fashion.
And the only reasonably successful way we’ve found so far for doing so is…money.
There’s a bunch of ways to allocate resources but ideas like money have an advantage of allowing people to choose how they live.
A good example would be that not every person would be satisfied living in an apartment in the city. Some prefer living more rural for any number of reasons. Some want to be inside playing video games and others outside biking on a mountain. Some want to be able to do both. Giving them the ability to choose small apartment in the city or bigger house in the woods is important for happiness.
The biggest issue is the discrepancy of resource allocation between individuals not the method that allocation is done on paper.

Its not dominating everything but we can make foss our own. I.e. Linux don’t dominate over us but “we are using linux the way we want”
Because Linux isn’t really one thing. If the kernel developers do something bad, just fork the kernel and remove it.
No, because everyone would be sitting around jacking each other off about using linux, if current trends are to be believed.
There’s a weird secretive compound on the edge of town. If you go up to the gate and try to talk to them they just reply “I use Arch BTW”.
No, you missed the homeless encampments, forest fires and car centric cities.
There’s no
apt install utopia.Because you have forgotten sudo
Would expect the architecture to be a bit more on the brutalist side of things
The world runs on KDE (or gnome)
So you mean we would have weird useless concrete structures everywhere? I doubt it
No place for bazaar. Looks more like corporations wet dream.
I mean, you could put one inside a building, I guess. It’s really just a very downscale mall.
Linux kernel
Nah bro, chrome OS is fucking ridiculous not to mention android too.
We need the other linux not just kernel.
Until the moment someone finds a privilage escalation bug.
Come to think of it that’s kind of how society works no?
Well not completly, but yes most of the servers run linux
It does run on Linux 😁😁😁
No, firewalls should use openBSD
Why?
I’ve tried to Google this, but it’s such a general statement I can’t find anything about it.
Is it more mature in that regard? Sane/sensible/safe defaults for networking? More tools as part of the distribution for networking?
Did FreeBSD (or it’s predecessor/upstream/whatever) define the standards, so the implementation is more correct?Or is it just that so many firewall applications run on top of FreeBSD (or a BSD flavour) eg opnSense, pfSense, openWRT (is openWRT actually BSD, idk)?
So, kinda a historical/momentum thing. With the benefits of wide spread specific useI personally don’t have a lot of experience with this, but here’s a writeup about OpenBSD: https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_every_it_person_needs_to_know_about_openbsd.html
OpenBSD is focused on being incredibly secure, and they generally succeed. Firewalls need good security.
Everything needs good security. Firewall devices only cover a specific, limited portion of the attack surface of machines behind them. One successful browser exploit or attack on an exposed port, and the firewall may as well be a paperweight.
True, but it’s hard to get end users to use OpenBSD. It’s really easy to make a firewall based on OpenBSD.
FreeBSD this focused on making a general use operating system
Open BSD is focusing on security the developer insists on regular audits.
Under most circumstances I wouldn’t really care, we’re getting a long well enough on Microsoft and Android with security updates all the time. That firewall man, it’s sitting out there with its ass hanging in the wind, The only thing between you and a billion hastily written scripts.
Is that image supposed to represent an utopia?
Its urban hell, but a few more trees
Ahh… It’s Gentoo
