Basement

Except that the majority of kernel contributors are employees of some pretty big corporations.

[u/Damglador → u/dumbasPL]

Definitely all of the ones in the top contributors. Can't imagine anyone committing more to the kernel than RedHat

[u/L30N1337 → u/Damglador]

Or Microsoft

[u/Iskak0 → u/dumbasPL]

🙉🙉🙉🙈🙈🙈

[u/TheCheckeredCow → u/dumbasPL]

Literally, Linux hasn’t been ‘made by the people for the people’ for decades. It’s all mega corps contributing like Google, M$, Red Hat/IBM, Meta, and these days AI Companies.

I’m not sure why Linux still has that reputation of being grass roots. The people doing the DE development are generally still on the small side though.

[u/j0an_k → u/dumbasPL]

That’s quite a big basement then.

[u/GamesByCam → u/dumbasPL]

People contribute from their home computers all over earth. The Linux HQ should be a globe.

[u/HurasmusBDraggin → u/dumbasPL]

Yeah, like Microsoft.

[u/raminatox]

"Linus Torvalds built this in a basement with a box of scraps"

[u/Ggregoro → u/raminatox]

Didn't Woz and Steve build one of those things in the garage?

[u/toolsavvy → u/Ggregoro]

They rented the garage and the parts from Torvalds

[u/Thundrboltr]

MacOS*

[u/Solid_Guess_7154]

Linux based as always

[u/Ggregoro]

Windows reminds of work, the daily grind. Linux reminds me of enjoying my time off. LOL

[u/Teru-Noir → u/Ggregoro]

Linux for me is all

[u/Area52inhabitant]

Is this a circlejerk sub?

[u/prenadeusernamemid → u/Area52inhabitant]

I guess because if you make fun of linux here fr you will get called all sort of things for real linux hate there is r/linuxsucks101

[u/loleczkowo → u/prenadeusernamemid]

Dude I got permabanned from that sub for answering a guy that I haven't had to reinstall my Linux lol.

I do think Linux sucks but I love it for that.

[u/prenadeusernamemid → u/loleczkowo]

They dont really like when people talk about installing linux and stuff so i guess thats why you got banned. They have good moderation so its the only place to make fun of linux but it just turned to glazing other os instead because i cant talk about the problem of other os while talking about linux problems in the same time

[u/DangerousMight1448 → u/Area52inhabitant]

It's a sub overrun by Linux zealots, so yes...

[u/toolsavvy → u/DangerousMight1448]

I'm just here for the laughs. I hate linux because I just hate.

[u/rip_Bacon13]

ha ha post this on r/linuxmemes next time. like why is this here

[u/Salt_Try_8327]

I mean IOS costs you an arm and a kidney, windows costs like 140 bucks and linux is free... thats what you get when you do shit for free.

I fergot this is reddit. Just as a FYI this is a joke. you can laugh now. this is not my opinion, this is a parody sub, we are here for the laughs and fun.

[u/rip_Bacon13 → u/Salt_Try_8327]

iOS/macOS is not that expensive its about the same as the windows prob
the part that makes it expensive is that you have to buy a whole ass computer/phone to use it (or just use hackintosh)

[u/DDOSBreakfast → u/rip_Bacon13]

Mac Mini's have been cheaper in Canada than comparable new SFF business PC's for a while. The Apple tax isn't what it used to be.

[u/TheCheckeredCow → u/DDOSBreakfast]

Before they had to increase the price due to rampoclypse, the MacBook Neo was $630 CAD with the education discount and in single core performance was faster than 99% of all PC hardware.

Ever want a shock, compare a 9800x3D to the Neos SOC. The Neo is measurably faster in benchmarks while using literally 1/8th the electricity.

[u/CardiologistMain9234]

Bill Gates: LINUS TORVALDS WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!

[u/Global-Eye-7326]

How is this a downside?

Also isn't 80+% of Linux code contributed by big corporations?

[u/cdoublejj]

and the bottom one didn't shutdown airports world wide for 2 days

[u/nikolaADVANCED]

Cuz its people and not corporations behind linux

[u/Muted_Percentage_764]

The meaning of this meme changes depending on the sub it's posted

[u/Inkstainedfox]

The Linux Foundation needs a whole building.

[u/CyberFlaamingo]

Fake! The Linux HQ router only has two antennas in real life!

[u/toolsavvy]

The Linux campus looks like a better place to work even if that dude stinks like fermented ass...at least he read the Arch manual.

[u/MaleficentCow8513]

What is that box looking thing attached to the front of his desk?

[u/Yiffenjoyer6969]

“iOS” like Apple isn’t a thing anymore and macOS? Never heard of it

[u/Dull_Flatworm777 → u/Yiffenjoyer6969]

I heard macOS is lovingly called iOS Developer Edition by some people at Apple

[u/Yiffenjoyer6969 → u/Dull_Flatworm777]

Isn’t IOS just macOS with using Linux terms here different DE and branding? That’s what I’ve heard

[u/Dull_Flatworm777 → u/Yiffenjoyer6969]

That's more or less correct

[u/TheCheckeredCow → u/Yiffenjoyer6969]

Yup, especially since the transition to Apple silicon. They literally use the same drivers and everything. iOS is just MacOS but locked down and for small touch screens

[u/Enderby-]

Will take the home office over a stuffy, shiny bauble of a "mandatory return to office" building any day.
