Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)

Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)

Ok, that was always allowed!

I wonder what they'll call it. Will they keep the "Linux" name?

They expect the special operation to take only a month.

Go for it. That's one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).

A national fork? In Russia?

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 10 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Well to be pedantic, Red Star is a custom DE on top of Linux, not a kernel

Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.

[–] moreeni@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

This will only show the idiots over at Western governments that FOSS is hurr durr bad, lets Ruskies evade sanctions
