If you can give a reference to any such book, I’d be very interested to see it.

Most of what you said is exactly my point. It’s true the word Linux, used properly, refers to a kernel and not an operating system. But that’s not the way the word is used in practice, and it is not what OP meant when they used it. They meant " an OS with the Linux kernel and GNU userspace utilities." When the word Linux is used that way, Android is not Linux.

they are operating systems that use the linux kernel, just like GNU/Linux (aka “Linux”) does.

kernel != operating system

For better or worse the more correct name GNU/Linux did not catch on and is universally shortened to Linux. Android uses the Linux kernel, but is not GNU/Linux, and therefore is not Linux.

The goal of Ubuntu’s help forum is to solve users’ problems efficiently and effectively. That goal is better achieved if questions are posed in certain optimal ways.

The goal of Lemmy is for people to have discussions (like this one! ;). That goal is not better achieved with well posed questions.

Why though? Seriously, why is it a problem for you if they ask here first, instead of asking somewhere else first? What is the actual harm to you?

Some people would rather interact with other humans. Some prefer to find their answers without interacting with other humans. It’s all good.

We aren’t Ubuntu here. As far as I’m concerned OP’s question was just fine.

What is the harm, to you or anyone else, when someone makes a forum their first resort, instead of last? If having people ask questions here that aren’t “good questions” according to you is bothering you, perhaps you are the problem.

a valid forum question

I wouldn’t presume to judge this, and I dont think you should.

There is no issue related to a deluge of “invalid” or even redundant forum questions. That’s simply not a real problem.

Google wouldn’t have any answers if no one ever asked their question in a forum instead.

When you search for a problem like this one, often the results with helpful answers are on forums. These wouldn’t exist if no one ever asked their question on a forum.

To put it another way, google doesn’t create any content. That’s what we’re here to do instead.

I don’t think that myth exists. If you thought that before trying Linux, where did you get that idea?

This is a rare case where it matters that Linux is not an operating system.

Thanks for finding these. I couldn’t see them, so I assumed they were removed in response to the complaint.

You’re right, there doesn’t appear to be anything here to object to.

The complaint is not about the terms “systemd” and “segmentation fault.” Those are the titles of the affected artworks. Presumably the artworks themselves contain some trademarked property.

Also, this is utterly unrelated to patents.

He’s taliking like RHEL is the product to be monetized. I always thought the model was: the software is free - pay us for professional, enterprise-level support.

Only for tablet and fold, so bascally all pixel owners are sol.

I just gave it a test run with a nonsense vin, to see if they wanted more info. they don’t. Your vin is not private information - its connection to you is (sort of, the dmv’s records are actually public). So if you cared to use this tool, just use a vpn and you’re all set.

It’s probably wise to assume everyone on the internet is out to get you. But to provide tools online, you have to ask for information.

yes, CO. I recognize many of the street names.
