Can't wait for the virus that uses this to replace a windows install with a Linux install that's riced to look like windows. Will the normies even notice?

What do the F and L stand for in FLOSS?

[-] fruitcantfly@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

"Free" and "libre". But this has only ever referred to the software itself, not to the hardware needed to use it.

That should be obvious, since otherwise almost no OSS would be FLOSS. After all, you have to buy a PC or another device to run it

i agree - the last letter in FLOSS stands for software, and everything before that is describing qualities of that software. the term has nothing to do with hardware per say in my opinion.
