I read this in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice.
I.mean, I love Linux but I do need to reboot often.
I don’t need to reboot, I can leave it on however long I want. I just don’t want to figure out which services need restarting, so they all get restarted.
yeah, same :')
Cool, but to be fair Linux is made to not make you root.
In most cases a sysadmin somewhere is root, and you may only pledge to him by email and wait weeks for when he decides you waited long enough for a reply.
User permissions are quite strict in Linux.
I’m still pissed there is no way for a user to decide to open a shared folder to other users which enforces base permissions without root doing that.

can’t you?
you can assign a preexisting group to a folder as a secondary owner. or you can do it per-user with ACLs
Unless IT has blocked it you should have share options for your Public Folder. At least that’s how it was when we ran it at a company. Every user had access to their own public share to share as needed. It was part of the Unix Model.
Yea, it’s a completely different security model, due to coming from Unix (a multi-user system) while Windows started as a single-user system.
Windows is user-centric security, Linux is file/process-centric.
Linux is arguably better, but it also requires more management.
Mind you, on my own Linux machine I can become root while on Windows all I can be is someone with admin rights (but subordinate to SYSTEM).
Sick! We need more Linux stickers.
Excellent. Where can I get these stickers?
No idea unfortunately
Officially, I’m not sure.
But Linux is open source, so you can just print out the image above and slap some double sided tape on it…
Bonus points if you straighten out the mild trapezoid distortion and maybe apply a little contrast on it using GIMP. 🐧
The fact that the Linux source code license is open doesn’t give permission to another work about Linux.
An analogy would be a park - you can use it, go running, etc with no issues. But if you setup your easel and make a painting of the park, that painting is an original creative work, and it is protected under copyright laws.
The same for that sticker. Even with the image of Tux being made “free” (attribution) by its creator, this stylized combination of drawing and text is still copyrighted, so we’d have to ask their permission for the stickers.
I’m sure whoever created this really cares.
That’s unrelated to OPs point that because Linux is FOSS, so is the drawing. As an advocate for open source, I try to clear up this kind of confusion.
Seems like some made it on a t-shirt, although it probably comes from irc or a forum I guess.
I want that on a T-shirt
Have I got great news for you.
Ironic. Most Linux desktop distros now don’t set up a root password, and they make you reboot after many updates.
Make you reboot? More like “suggest a reboot”, and not after “many updates” bit after installing a new kernel or graphics drivers on a running graphical desktop environment. Typically, the latter can also be handled on the command line, and the reboot suggestion is for less tech savvy users
They’re probably talking about offline updates, which are used by Fedora and Ubuntu. They do require you to reboot to apply the updates.

They tell the user to reboot, and they don’t phrase it like it is optional. It’s been a while since I’ve used Ubuntu, for example, but my memory is that they say that a reboot is required, or something along those lines. There is nothing wrong with my using the phrase “make you reboot” for those cases.
not after “many updates” bit after installing a new kernel or graphics drivers on a running graphical desktop environment.
When I was using Ubuntu, I’d get a reboot request like once every couple of weeks to a month. Maybe you don’t think that’s “many updates”, but the point of the sticker was obviously to compare to other operating systems, and in that regard, it was similar to Windows, probably more frequent.
Ok two things here:
- don’t use Ubuntu, canonical began enshittification years ago
- automatic updates will trigger more frequent reboots - and are typically not a good idea in my humble opinion
Please tell me which
The only one I saw is Fedora, and that’s it. Even with something like Silver blue you can Live-apply the updates
