  • I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

    But seriously: another comment here points out some tool











  • the more i read here the more i wish that you simply message the mods in private and give them stuff like the instance name.
    They have NO reason to dox you.
    From what i got you guessed the issue by testing around on YOUR side. You dont know anything about their side so you cant 100% identify the problem.
    If you want to have the conversations outside of Lemmy i am sure that they would accept if you create a throw away matrix account and talk over this.

    The issue you have others could have too and if you are not able to talk about it with others could have propblems too.
    I mean it could be some weird bug that no one else discovered so far.

    What would really help if you speak with the other devs, only talk about facts (not assumptions based on facts, that are still assumptions), stay calm and hydrated
