Can't wait for the virus that uses this to replace a windows install with a Linux install that's riced to look like windows. Will the normies even notice?

What the hell. I sure ain't letting a Python script in Alpha stage written with Claude mess with my PC's partitions. You can totally create a small FAT32 partition yourself, get the ISO's content in there and boot from it. No USB key required.

Also the take that it's not Free Software if you're buying a USB key is so plain wrong. It's free as in freedom, not free beer. You still get to pay for the hardware, but with free software you get to own it too.

Yeah the "free operating system" stuff is wrong af. The guy clearly doesn't understand what free software means.

What do the F and L stand for in FLOSS?

[–] fruitcantfly@programming.dev 3 points 16 hours ago

"Free" and "libre". But this has only ever referred to the software itself, not to the hardware needed to use it.

That should be obvious, since otherwise almost no OSS would be FLOSS. After all, you have to buy a PC or another device to run it
