Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like #Linux and #LibreOffice – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #privacy
Hacker @Fedihacker@masto.es@libreoffice To #Linux or to #GNU? Linux is a kernel, not an operating system. There are not many other OSes with a Linux kernel. GNU, Android and Musl distributions are the most common if not the only ones. The rest are derivations of them. For example µClibc is a GNU implementation.
@libreoffice I would expect from them a donation to the Document Foundation.
@Fedihacker If you're gonna call µClibc a GNU implementation then musl is one as well, tbh. (and I'd agree)
@mid_kid I think I got confused with the extinct eglibc. Musl, µClibc can't be considered GNU implementations. Comparison of different runtimes by the author of Musl: https://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html
Of course, he ignores all the GNU extensions which only Glibc supports.
Not talking about C++ which only GNU and Bionic do.
@Fedihacker both glibc and musl expose way more functionality than just that of a posix libc, to the point that the entirety of the rest of the userspace can function largely unmodified. The line is blurry, but unlike bionic, musl and glibc are at least much, much closer to eachother, if not just mutually compatible implementations at this point. Also worth noting that the linked page is ancient, I think even older than alpine, and idk if it was updated.

"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux."
