    All the different distros are all about the vibe and not a lot else. The Linux kernel remains pretty much the same and we just choose different window dressings.

    I suppose we could role it all back to Debian Stable and Slackware I guess. Do we need a "Distro Thanos?" Besides, without all those different distros, how you gonna surf?

    So don't harsh the vibes man.

    So you've never tried the Zen Kernel?

    [–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    No I haven't bothered to surf that one up yet. But, if it's vastly different, then it's not Linux and not germane to this meme.

    Is Linux, called linux-zen on some package managers.

    But is different than the LTS Kernel, which is also different than the pre-release kernels, which are also different than the stable kernels.

    So idk, "what is" Linux and what's not, according to you.

    Maybe you thinking of GNU Hurd? Or the Darwin kernel?

    After doing a quick search, I don't see enough differences for the Zen kernel to claim it's so special. The main line kernel has to be a "one size fits all" from servers to gaming and anything in between. Zen is just a recompiled mainline kernel with some chosen optimizations for better specific use cases-- mostly desktop/gaming. Which is nothing I can't do if I recompile my bog standard Fedora kernel for those optimizations.

    I never said it was special, but I'm glad you searched bud!
