        Lol it was “fun” two days ago when all the outlets originally wrote about it. Now it just feels like the headline might as well be, “heh, remember how we all laughed at that thing two days ago?”

        Doesn’t seem necessary to bring it up again for 6.6.7 any more than it will for 6.7.6 or 7.6.6. I’m not really familiar with the outlet though, maybe they make a headline for every minor patch release.

          You must be fun at parties. Why not just ignore it and move on? It’s a one off thing you won’t see it again.

              I’m with you. Not even necessarily with your original comment, but I have also had the experience of making a mild complaint and being dogpiled by people who are somehow super butthurt about it. It’s weird. They could have read your comment and moved on like they are demanding you do.

              That’s sounds like something someone who is unfun at parties would say.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The kernel 6.6.6 version number delighted many a black-clad open source fan, but not for long.

    At the end of October, Linux version 6.6 came out, and just over a couple of weeks later, it became the latest long-term supported release.

    The same problem affected release 6.6.5, and just as in the older stable kernel series, the change was removed again the following working day.

    Monday (December 11) saw the release of the satanically significant kernel 6.6.6, backing out just that single change from the previous version.

    But now comes the bad news for all the spooky kids out there: the kernel bearing the Mark of the Beast didn’t last long at all.

    With such a short window of opportunity, it’s no wonder there wasn’t an update and re-release of Ubuntu Satanic Edition.


    The original article contains 332 words, the summary contains 133 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
