From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the thumbnail is just cringe. more of a script kiddie vibe than a real programmer.
"DON'T UPLOAD TO VIRUS TOTAL"
A real programmer would focus on the writing and not the thumbnail, like a kiddie.
It is part of their presentation. It shows their ignorance.
Book is bad because I dont like the cover
If a math book has 1+1=3 on its cover, I will judge it.
and which math book has that? idk how making up shit helps u here. and it's not even a good comparison, misinformation vs some ascii art. I hope those real programmers are more mature
Analogies are hard
Dont make them then, I showed how that one was shit in 2 different ways
What kind of Linux distro has ASCII art on the desktop by default? you're making stuff up
Analogies are made to be made up
Never claimed that take your strawman elsewhere thanks
The things we are comparing are a math book with a 1+1=3 on its cover and an article with a thumbnail of a linux desktop with ascii art on the background. If we ditch the default talk, then I can also just plaster a 1+1=3 on my math book and it won't be misinformation
So you think mentioning both ascii art and a linux distro somehow counts as misinformation?
Well, its at the same level as 1+1=3 and a math book. It's not claimed to be truth, but it uses a very inappropriate pop-appropriation to try and grab your attention
using = literally indicates a claim, showing some art does not, you just assume shit and claim it as reality. I guess u also believe showing kali logo while not explicitly mentioning it in the article counts as " a very inappropriate pop-appropriation "? Get a grip
Showing 1+1=3 on a math book cover is also art
It may not be that on the nose, but I've seen more than one technical textbook with three meshed gears on the front.
I'm not a programmer, just an old school Linux user. The writing is okay, I just pointed out that this thumbnail does not do the article any favor.
I wonder how you tried linux with that silly penguin as a logo, didn't that give you kiddie vibes too? What's your opinion on it? Does linux lose your respect over it?
It’s not about the ascii dragon, it’s that Kali Linux is known amongst Linux communities to attract (script) kiddies / wannabe hackers.
And Tux is a stone cold G. If that penguin alone didn’t bring you over to Linux you have brain problems.
I'm kinda sure they're a troll by now
Said the guy who equates showing some ascii art to claiming 1+1=3, my condolences for the mental deficiency since you werent trolling then

who cares, i am a book

Thumbnail is bad because the distro attracts people I dont like and I'll even call the authors ignorant over it, those kiddies may be more mature than you, real programmer
An image is added to an article to catch the reader's eyes, so the article gets read. I pointed out that this image didn't transmit a proper impression of the article.
If you are as superior as your condescending attitude suggests that you don't even get a first impression of things, good for you. But us, mortals, will have an impression of the article posted by taking a glance at the thumbnail or the cover of a book, if that were the case.
Of course, that first impression will change after reading the actual content, but getting the first impression right gets you more people looking at the content.
ascii art doesnt transmit a proper impression but a silly penguin for an os does?
ASCII art has virtually no relation to Linux and the penguin is at least its mascot. Judge ém or not it's a SYMBOL, while the ascii art thing does not symbolize much related to the article
The picture literally mentions kali linux how many distros mentioned do u need if only u gave same attention to the writing
Kali has no relation to ASCII art, and I've read the entire article... the writing is pretty bland but to the point while simultaneously bringing nothing of value
Kali isnt mentioned in the article either, do you intend to complain about that too?
Yea
What the hell is your problem?
You ok bro?
