From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Prompting for every single command seems like it'd suck

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for "security", so I would just 'sudo bash' which is obviously much safer /s.

My system is configured that way (by me) and I regularly use sudo -s.

I just want to see if there's a root shell and not rely on some hidden timeout 🙄

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

I'm going to continue to keep avoiding Poettering software for as long as he continues to act like a jackass. Even his commit messages are dripping with condescension.

Funny. I didn't know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.

Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.

Users were complaining that their terminal transparency was being broken by the nspawn container and that the colour for other applications like tmux were being affected by it. For example tmux was appearing in the same navy blue in the terminal emulator instead of its usual green.

Idk he's just a hot take merchant basically. He has a particular hate-boner for distros that don't use systemd as the default init system like void and gentoo (usually these are troll tweets as opposed to commit messages though).
