Apparently, we get notifications when people add us to collections now.
Apparently, someone added us to a collection called "Linux Distros & Desktop Environments", which is of course Deeply Unacceptable.

I wonder when someone will coin Glass Linux, or perhaps (Formerly) Colorful Squares Linux

Ooo, then MacOS should be "preppy Linux," or "yuppie Linux," or perhaps "dandy Linux." ;)

Ah, so all the technicolor beachballs and liquid glass are like a preening mating dance to attract users. Digital survival of the fittest (or prettiest). It all makes sense now. 😄

Epic demo, that. I didn't learn it was technically a static image (palette rotation for ball rotation, x/y register fiddling for position) until fairly recently.
I'm still blown away by HAM mode.

Honestly, the perfect "— Linux" name for windows is just "Broken Linux." The "Glass" part isn't even needed. 😂
Also, the unix-hater contingent would absolutely love that. ;)

@stefano @netbsd as a friend of mine reminded me a while back, the BSD kernel is the best linux kernel.

@overeducatedredneck @stefano @netbsd @rl_dane writing "the kernel" in BSD context makes no sense
It’s not a separate product, nor is there a "the".

The answer to all your questions and concerns is that my friend was trolling me.
And now you have joined me in being trolled 😉

@stefano @netbsd @overeducatedredneck @oblomov @rl_dane if you ignore the wrong conceptualisation (and consider that you should use native, not emulated, tools for bootup and admin), https://toot.mirbsd.org/@mirabilos/statuses/01M3FY71K2V55QHZ28PJ0DY0AQ confirms it (thread has more possibilities), so no trolling
