Why not Red Star OS? They can take North Korean soldiers but not their software?

There is also TempleOS, with a fork of C called Holy C built specifically for better integration with it

It will work just like every other Russian knock-off thing that gets made. Very shittily, and then end up in the bin.
Aren’t they still also trying to make their own Steam? 🤣
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up
just_another_person@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Nah, it goes WAY back to pre-WW2. Russia basically made copying everyone else’s technology a major economic driver for them for decades, and it was all based around trying to sucker poorer countries into buying their awful products.
Cameras, radios, cars, weapons. Hell they even stole NASA Space Shuttle designs and tech to build their own, which just ended up in a junkyard.

Of course everything’s made by China anyway including all the high-end stuff. The exception being computer chips.

The fact that Russian came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.

A special forking operation will be underway. The new kernel will be complete in just a few days, like the inva- er… denazification of Kyi- er… Kiev.

It depends what they want to do. They can fork and take on the burden of maintaining the whole tree in which case good luck with that, linux is too much of a fire hose to enable a 3rd party to assemble something similar making different choices about what they merge. Otherwise they can maintain a re-based fork that tracks the Torvalds tree and then congratulations you’ve just invented a feature tree that can do contribution with extra steps.
drmoose@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They’re just jumping the newscycle for the propaganda machine. Russian government doesn’t care about tech or linux unless it can help them deliver more bombs to Ukrainian babies and you don’t need to fork the kernel for that.
echodot@feddit.uk 6 months ago
Pretty much no military in the world cares about Linux because you want an OS system that millions of people are familiar with, require no additional onboarding process, and has decades worth of documentation and trouble fixers.
Microsoft have always produced stripped down locked down versions of Windows for them so there’s really no reason for them to care about any of Microsoft’s BS in the communal space.

An air-gapped FreeBSD os is significantly more stable and more secure than a commercially available os used globally. Security is more important to militaries than the fucking end user experience.

When it fails I’m gonna laugh a lot.
Railcar8095@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I mean, they can just pull the current kernel, add a few patches and say it’s their kernel.
Let’s be honest, cold war brought the space race, if this war brings the “year of Linux” race I’m not going to complain
ma1w4re@lemm.ee 6 months ago
That’s IF the would be even able to pull the kernel. I know how government grants work here. 70% chance that the money gets stolen and work is outsourced to some bloke who doesn’t know what git is.

Astra (used in MIC) is outdated shit, RED OS (more commercial) is cooler and wine’d in a lot of our windows-oriented apps, but both would have a hard time without international community if threatened.
That’s just some figureheads shitting with their mouths. There are millions of machines still running Windows with no way to change without a pushback from users and admins, and also some Linux machines that would only suffer if we branch out.

Go go,

Not sure if they’re aware, but the Balmer Peak occurs at a fairly specific BAC/intoxication level, and output quality drops off significantly after that point.

Olde Fortran Malt Liquor would be a better fit for for my joke. It’s ok that you didn’t get it.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I don’t know why you’re trying to imply the “blackjack and hookers” Futurama joke that we see all the time in response to stories like this is some kind of xenophobic statement.
Trying that hard to be offended all the time must be exhausting.
echodot@feddit.uk 6 months ago
Seems like a good fit for the Linux community really. They’re not exactly known for being buttoned down.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Funny thing is, I was thinking about writing my own text editor that is not a web application running in chromium, and wanted to name it “Blackjack”.
