Six Six Six, The kernel of the beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Boards blazed and reviewed codes were praised
As they start to try, hands held to the sky
In the night, the coffee is burning hot
The commit has begun, Linus work is done
- This can't go on, I must inform the Hurd,
  \ Can this monolith be real, or just some crazy dream?
  \ But I feel drawn towards the GPL-2,
  \ Seem to mesmerize, can't avoid Tivoization!
  
  I'm coming back, I will return
  And I'll possess your daemons and make your CPU burn
  I have ring 0, I have your cores
  I have the power to make my evil take its course
  
  omg hahaha this was amazing!

  Hehehehe
We need a petition to make this LTS.
- Long Term Satan?
  
  No, because he has already sent the beast with wrath.
  \ — because he knows the time is short.
  In any case, let him who have understanding
  \ reckon the kernel of the beast;
  \ for it is a human number;
  \ not a semver number. So don't worry about it. \
  yieeeeeeaaaaaaaahhh
- But- but mah FreeBSD 👿
  
  You'll have to wait for FreeBSD 66.6, which may happen in a few decades
  
  Lol.
- Fuck yea, here we go
FreeBSD is now obsolete
Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.
- "to compile the kernel you must kill me, Linus Romero"
  
  ... I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
Daemons Unleashed
Can't wait for someone extremely religious question if they should update to this cursed version.
- Time to make the switch to TempleOS.
- "Trinity Desktop will not function on this version of Linux"
- We'll wait until 7.7.7 so all of the religious folk switch to linux
It's a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.
- I mean, wifi drivers have to be made from demonic arts.
  
  As printers
- Yeah, metal as fuck WiFi regressions!
  
  6.6.5 has been a massive pain in the ass with the MTK wifi in my asus g14. very happy this got released quickly, no more deadlocks!
- I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.
  I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong 😂.
  Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.
- My friend has been complaining about this! Glad to see it fixed
The kernel I didn’t even know I needed
- lol
Ubuntu Satanic Edition's favourite kernel.
- And blacklisted by Ubuntu Christian Edition.
  
  Lol, I really thought that this is satirical 😂 but now it seems so real, I’m confused.
  
  Amen
Is it time to start shit posting on myfacespace about the satanic computers running the world already?
Finally, our time has come
"The number of the beast!!"
- The kernel of the Fix!
Wait, crap! I'm already on 6.7.0-rc4 v.v Not gonna accept a lower number just to hail Satan a little extra 🤷‍♀️
Besides, 6.7 might have something neat in it. I'm not weird, you're weird!
_... _I _use _Arch _and/or _Gentoo _bytheway <.<
