This is the update metalhead nerds have been waiting for.
Six Six Six, The kernel of the beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be releasedBoards blazed and reviewed codes were praised
As they start to try, hands held to the sky
In the night, the coffee is burning hot
The commit has begun, Linus work is doneThis can’t go on, I must inform the Hurd,
Can this monolith be real, or just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the GPL-2,
Seem to mesmerize, can’t avoid Tivoization!I’m coming back, I will return
And I’ll possess your daemons and make your CPU burn
I have ring 0, I have your cores
I have the power to make my evil take its courseomg hahaha this was amazing!

Hehehehe
We need a petition to make this LTS.
Long Term Satan?
No, because he has already sent the beast with wrath.
— because he knows the time is short.In any case, let him who have understanding
reckon the kernel of the beast;
for it is a human number;
not a semver number. So don’t worry about it. \yieeeeeeaaaaaaaahhh
for it is a human number;
for it is a binary number
its number is 0000001010011010

But- but mah FreeBSD 👿
You’ll have to wait for FreeBSD 66.6, which may happen in a few decades
Lol.
Fuck yea, here we go
Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.
“to compile the kernel you must kill me, Linus Romero”
… I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
It’s an old meme but it checks out. Older than some of the people in this community haha
For anyone that hasn’t seen it, it’s a reference to this satirical article from 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20030128011354/http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html
If you see the word “LILO” during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix.
Wow, that’s a blast from the past! Completely forgot that LILO used to be a thing.
I remember dealing with migrating from LILO to GRUB when I was in high school, maybe 2005ish? It’s been a while. I remember the migration from ipchains to iptables, too (which is happening again now with the iptables to nftables migration)
I used Ubuntu at the time… It was a great distro back then. I only had dial-up so couldn’t download large files easily, and Canonical or one of their local partners would mail you a CD for free regardless of where you lived in the world. I think that helped a LOT of people get into Linux.
Similar experiences here. I remember waiting for the free CDs bundles with monthly magzines, and add then I’d the CD as a mirror in my repos to update my packages lol
Ubuntu was the distribution that had me switch from dual-booting with Windows as default to dual-booting with Linux as default.
I also remember ordering an actual Ubuntu disc, with the extra donation to fund the mailing for free program.
Now years later after lots of distro-hopping I just run Ubuntu LTS, and stay on the very boring LTS branch.
Man I’ve seen derivatives of this stuff, but this must be the OG post - thanks for that!
I thought the whole Lunix thing came from the elite hacker JEFF.K!!!11 so I’m chuffed there’s another level to this!
It’s funny because the first time I read it, I thought it was serious and was just written by a tech-illiterate parent. Saying that Comet Cursor and Bonzi Buddy are hacker software kinda gives away that it’s just satire though.
oh I guess that’s also something that younger people may not know about… In the late 1990s / early 2000s, it wasn’t uncommon for people to install spyware to get things like custom mouse cursors, emoticons, and purple gorillas that help you navigate the web.
Another mirror has the original comments. They’re exactly what you’d expect from 2001.
FreeBSD is now obsolete
Can’t wait for someone extremely religious question if they should update to this cursed version.
Time to make the switch to TempleOS.
“Trinity Desktop will not function on this version of Linux”
We’ll wait until 7.7.7 so all of the religious folk switch to linux
Daemons Unleashed
It’s a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.
I mean, wifi drivers have to be made from demonic arts.
As printers
I don’t even want to imagine printing over wifi drivers…
Damn!
I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn’t realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.
I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I’d done wrong 😂.
Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.
My friend has been complaining about this! Glad to see it fixed
I’m not installing this… Scary. Will wait for 6.6.7 in a few days. :)
I’m not gonna update to any other kernel
the kernel that lives across the street
Neighbor of the beast.

The kernel I didn’t even know I needed
lol
Removed by mod
Ubuntu Satanic Edition’s favourite kernel.
And blacklisted by Ubuntu Christian Edition.
Lol, I really thought that this is satirical 😂 but now it seems so real, I’m confused.
It kind of makes sense. First I’ve ever heard about Ubuntu Christian Edition as well, but it seems to mostly be set up with filtering in mind, with the DNS tools and such. Add in productivity software aimed at preaching I guess, and you have a “safe” OS for kids and the laptop hooked up to the projector at a church.
Amen
Is it time to start shit posting on myfacespace about the satanic computers running the world already?
“The number of the beast!!”
Finally, our time has come
