  • Gentoo Says FU to GitHub

    From Farley Flud@fsquared@fsquared.linux to comp.os.linux.advocacy on Mon Jan 12 11:25:46 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.os.linux.advocacy

    Gentoo says "Fuck You!" to Micro$lop's GitHub:

    https://www.gentoo.org/news/2026/01/05/new-year.html

    Why they ever chose to host there in the first place is beyond me.
    But they have finally realized that the Micro$lop Corp., in addition
    to its inferior technology, is a pure irritating pain in the fucking
    ass.

    Gentoo is as strong as ever, and so too is Linux From Scratch.

    If you are not using one of these two distros then you have serious
    mental problems -- and yes that is an insult.

    "Goodbye Github, welcome Codeberg: Mostly because of the continuous
    attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories, Gentoo currently considers and plans the migration of our repository mirrors and pull
    request contributions to Codeberg.

    The Evil Empire continues to earn its nickname.

    idiot.


    Gentoo WANTS to be associated with Microsoft, and wants Windows users to
    use their distro:

    "Gentoo for WSL:
    We now publish weekly Gentoo images for Windows Subsystem for Linux
    (WSL), based on the amd64 stages, see our mirrors. While these images
    are not present in the Microsoft store yet, thatrCOs something we intend
    to fix soon."

    Of course you saw this but didn't report it because it made you seethe.

    These users have run Linux and are just looking for ways to use it that
    can include Microsoft's support.
