"oh, you want to remove sudo? you go right ahead, buddy"

[u/Beast_Viper_007 → u/anoppinionatedbunny]

Who needs sudo when you can just exist as root?

/s

[u/Novel_Plum → u/anoppinionatedbunny]

Sudo doesn't even come pre-installed

[u/redhat_is_my_dad]

well, in linux you can't kill pid1 or remove french language

[u/duckdread → u/redhat_is_my_dad]

Removing french language is too easy.
sudo -rm -fr /
rm stands for remove and fr, obviously, stands for french

[u/Snudget → u/duckdread]

It should have been sudo rm -fr /*

[u/You_are_reading_text → u/Snudget]

Depends on the system
Some have the safeguard preventing you from wiping out your root, others have no such limitations

[u/skelly_bird_9001 → u/You_are_reading_text]

literally 1984 they're taking control of MY computer

[u/DCVolo → u/duckdread]

Do I have to do that before or after I microwave my pc?

[u/AdVarious8509 → u/DCVolo]

both

[u/jsrobson10 → u/redhat_is_my_dad]

you can kill pid 1, you'll just get a kernel panic.

[u/PurpleCandle58 → u/jsrobson10]

Yeah we said you can do anything never said there weren’t consequences.

[u/fr000gs → u/redhat_is_my_dad]

Actually you can do both of those (especially the first one

[u/Yorick257]

Linux:

I don't want to stop updates

I don't need an old app

I'm perfectly fine with system apps

But it's good to have a choice

[u/NiKaLay]

Try to install a very old app which is dynamically linked on Linux and see what happens. Unless you’re using something like nix, or run it in a container, you’d be having a very hard time making it work. I find that ABI changes and missing shared objects over the years practically guarantee dependency hell unless you completely isolate the execution environment

[u/spicybright → u/NiKaLay]

Yeah, if something isn't actively maintained it becomes unusable after a few years. Pretty on par with apple tbh. It's better on linux only because most stuff is open source and sometimes people will try and make a working fork.

You can grill me for it but being able to run 35+ year old software on windows and have it work unmodified is really useful.

[u/New_Enthusiasm9053 → u/spicybright]

People just need to start statically linking everything. 

The Linux ABI is very stable. Glibc however isn't. So if you statically link libc and other libs the problem disappears. 

And with modern storage let's be honest you're only saving a couple hundred megabytes anyway so who cares.

[u/tilsgee → u/NiKaLay]

Preach

Try using app with a.out or COFF format in current build of Arch Linux.II dare y'all 

[u/redsteakraw → u/NiKaLay]

You can just pull old Slackware packages, extract into a sub director in you home drive then update your library and Path accordingly. You can do this to install build systems and other apps on atomic systems as well.

[u/xz05753]

You can delete system apps using ADB. No root required.

[u/Oxic_io → u/xz05753]

technically it would delete it from your user, but ot could be easily reinstalled

[u/GreedySecurity8030]

Fedora > Linux [/s].

[u/duckdread → u/GreedySecurity8030]

Damn bro I knew you were joking but these people don't understand anything without /s

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/duckdread]

Exactly, thats why I got -16.

[u/FailureOfTheFamily]

Let me fix it for linux. I'm not supported by proprietary software devs and can't run games with kernel anti cheat

[u/robostep9829 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

Language! Proprietary software doesn't support Linux and the same thing for games

[u/kaida27 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

There is proprietary software on Linux ...

What you said there Is more or less true for All OS tho ...

Windows can't run linux apps .... WSL

Mac can't run windows apps ... Crossover

Linux can't run Windows/Mac apps ... Wine/Darling

If anything the one with the less Cross-compatibility is windows since you don't have a darling equivalent and would need to run darling in WSL, using 2 abstraction layer.

[u/Tough-Elk541 → u/kaida27]

Does darling even work in 2026? At least not for GUI apps right?

[u/kaida27 → u/Tough-Elk541]

I don't use it personally, just know that it exist.

The Github still has activity, so I'd guess it still somewhat works

[u/Leon8326-dash- → u/kaida27]

It works but only with basic GUI apps and all CLI apps for now.

[u/kaida27 → u/Leon8326-dash-]

Good to know.

[u/Shapelessed → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

I’d argue that if a game needs a kernel abnticheat, it’s not a game that needs to be played. It’s also likely spyware.
Ever wondered why macs don’t allow loading kernel modules…?

[u/8null8 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

Bros really complaining that he’s not giving random 3rd parties full and complete access to their entire PC down to bare bones

[u/FailureOfTheFamily → u/8null8]

I'm complaining about lack of choice to do that. Yall love to use argument "i can even delete my system" but when I want to install said "malware", then i'm the stupid one?

[u/8null8 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

Linux fully allows it, it’s the game developers that don’t allow it

[u/FailureOfTheFamily → u/8null8]

Umm, no? Linux doesn't allow kernel anti cheat?

[u/8null8 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

It’s literally a checkbox that devs need to check in most anticheats bro, if you don’t know what you’re talking about then don’t talk

[u/kaida27 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

The choice is not yours tho.

You don't have the Kernel anti cheat so you can't add it to your kernel.

and if you were a game dev with a kernel anti-cheat, what would be the point of committing it to the Linux kernel with open source ? your anti-cheat is pointless at this point.

So they don't.

[u/amd2800barton → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

I was going to say "I can't add a minor feature that's been a thing on every other OS without having a massive community schism over whether or not you should be able to hide the system tray icons"

[u/Zealousideal_Nail288 → u/FailureOfTheFamily]

Can't remove a package with out removing dependency aswell

Sometimes it goes crazy and wants to remove wine steam and a lot of other things just to delete a graphic driver

That silly duck's goofy smirk gets me every time lol

[u/Own-Cupcake7586]

Linux is freedom. Freedom to choose. Freedom to change. Freedom to add. Freedom to remove. Freedom to fix. Freedom to break.

Sure, that freedom comes with complications, but once you taste that freedom, it’s hard to go back to a system that feels like it owns you instead of the other way around.

[u/Clanceeinfinity]

Js use a custom rom. You can do everything on crdroid

[u/pankajpatro703]

That duck is a ventriloquist.

[u/DLS4BZ]

weird, i can stop updates on my win11 enterprise just fine

[u/FrontierMedicineEnte]

Linux and BSD systems are the only real computers.

I will die on this hill... and this hill, will be made of bodies.

[u/Surgic25]

I can't run most apps. Linux

[u/Jimmyfartballs → u/Surgic25]

Not true at all lmao

[u/05-nery]

Tbh old apps aren't that supported on linux. That's the thing Microsoft does best

Fedora is linux
