is debian linux?
technically, debian is an operative system built on top of the linux kernel
BinaryByter
so why do you say that debian is not up to date?

and it's definitely not up to date if we want to talk about the stable branch

because it isn't lmfao i've got the 4.09 kernel
Pavel
but Lua is literally written in C
It doesn't matter much what it's written on. I think unless you want to rewrite something in Lua itself.
BinaryByter
because it isn't lmfao i've got the 4.09 kernel
where did I say that debian is always up to date?

i've never seen only "linux"

so if you talk about "Linux", you talk about its distributions
BinaryByter
kek no
BinaryByter
I talk about linux
BinaryByter
also if you want to go that argumentation, what about arch linux?
Anonymous
never heard of somebody using only linux without anything on top of it
BinaryByter
its a rolling release

that's the point, the distribution are very different
BinaryByter
and gentoo?
Sure - for that sake it works

Guys, *jpres* also has amazing directs tutorials
BinaryByter
and its always up to date
Anonymous
Is it to use his tutorials

your router?
i think that there's still something else other than the bare kernel, there
BinaryByter
that's the point, the distribution are very different
EXCEPT I TOLD YOU THAT —-> LINUX <—— IS UP TO DATE
Anonymous
but i'm not sure
BinaryByter
NOT THE DISTRO
Pavel
Lol, how it happens that you start a holywar from almost every topic :) You was talking about Lua, how it's come to argue about Linux distributions? :)

i am far from being interested in tweaking the kernel itself lmao

lemme get the quote
you will find great disappointment in seeing that i have never said that i am interested in linux being written in C
BinaryByter
its old and teaches very bad programming habits
Pavel
i am far from being interested in tweaking the kernel itself lmao
BTW, what are you going to do with Lua? Games or backend?
BinaryByter
so what
BinaryByter
the vast majority of the software on linux is written in C
BinaryByter
the quote
Dima
Maybe you’ll stop.
Dima
BinaryByter
precisely
this is exactly what I said - you said that c is still relevant because is written in C
BinaryByter
but thats the worst argument
BinaryByter
tbh i'm mad at linus for being such a crackpot and still coding the kernel in C
BinaryByter
like dafaq

i want to learn C because software that i use or that i want to use, is written in C

a foolish example is i3wm, if i want to tweak it i need C
klimi
i3wm hm
BinaryByter
i want to learn C because software that i use or that i want to use, is written in C
Next time learn to evaluate context before randomly dropping this into the convo then
klimi
show
BinaryByter

no, you need to learn its config modules
BinaryByter
the probability that you will tweak i3 at that level is low
Anonymous
no, you need to learn its config modules
a thing is the config file, another thing is forking it
BinaryByter
the probability that you even will be able to is low
Anonymous
modifying the source code itself
BinaryByter
i doubt that you will be able to
Anonymous
of course not now
BinaryByter
the code of linux apps tends to be hobbied together and ugly
Anonymous
but if i never start to learn, i'll never finish
BinaryByter
Start learning C++
BinaryByter
honestly

no
BinaryByter
once you know C++, downgrading is super easy

i'm not interested in C++
