@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @hacknorris @2T2@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, now I get the question 😂
Why Windows and not Linux? Because the community port of Windows is great, everything works, including HW video decoding. It can boot linux — but that's it. It has some framebuffer support and the networking might work if stars align properly. A device like this is hardly useful.

@m0xee Please don't mention windows and the kernel, Linux in the same sentence - as they are not comparable.

@Suiseiseki I still think it's acceptable in this rare case. Only the kernel boots on this device, the userspace doesn't matter at this point 😆

@Suiseiseki And I'd certainly use GNU/linux more often than I do now if I didn't have this 500 character limit.

@m0xee If you're really that strapped on character count, write; GNU instead, as that's two less characters than Linux, plus it isn't incorrect (although slightly ambiguous, but generally usage of GNU/Hurd is mentioned specifically).

@Suiseiseki It is more ambiguous than using linux though. I think everyone here gets that I'm talking about GNU/Linux, not Android, not Chimera or some other even more obscure shit.
I know the difference, you know the difference — everyone in this thread does. If I was writing a paper on it, I'd use the correct term, but you don't have to be so picky about the coments in a rather humorous thread.
