That's how we know that GNU tools are genuine, with this lack of polish you know that their real interest is in the code alone. https://www.gnu.org/graphics/package-logos.html

Is that real? Can one hypothetically actually get them? If so, where?

For some reason this made me think of spaghetti, which is straight until it gets hot and wet, and actually, SpaghettiOS would not be a bad name for a distro. Except for trademark issues etc, but still.

I see, I thought they were synonyms, english isn't my first language.

Pen is more like "almost", like in peninsula, almost an island.

Yes, unfortunately. Everything is better now. We don't even have to generate a new xorg.conf anymore and worry about getting the refresh rate wrong.

They might try to stop Linux from booting at all with locked bootloaders.

Famous last words...

0 money. I already had a pair of bunny ears, improvised a tail from curtain tassel tie-back thing that was already like a fluffy white ball, white clothes.

Is this separate from the Suite Numerique project or is it the german branded version? I'm worried that we (european governments) are not leveraging existing projects enough. In a way it's good to have options, but also imagine if we all worked towards a very polished real alternative to the Google ecosystem.

A while ago I read through the classic Unix Programming Environment from 1984 while trying out the things described on a Debian system. I like the unix philosophy. Ken is a genius. ed is the standard editor. The more I read though, the more I was thinking that this just isn't how we use computers today. I think Linux is trying to be two things at once. On the one hand it's sort of a UNIX-clone, on the other hand it's a black box that our containers and browsers and applications rest on. I'm not sure why we are heading towards less and less UNIX, but it seems to be by popular demand?
