To be fair, it turns out not all environments implement floating-point arithmetic by the IEEE spec, meaning division by 0 can produce different results depending on where you run it. So in C++ float division by zero is undefined: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42926763/the-behaviour-of-floating-point-division-by-zero
But I’m fairly sure (note: based on literally no research) that most environments today will behave like the IEEE spec.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero#Floating-point_arithmetic
In IEEE arithmetic, division of 0/0 or ∞/∞ results in NaN, but otherwise division always produces a well-defined result. Dividing any non-zero number by positive zero (+0) results in an infinity of the same sign as the dividend. Dividing any non-zero number by negative zero (−0) results in an infinity of the opposite sign as the dividend. This definition preserves the sign of the result in case of arithmetic underflow.

AFAIK that should give you +infinity, not NaN
The process that’s used to kill, or in short, the ‘kill process’.

You’re in the majority in general society though, IMO. And I’m with you as well.
Have you ever actually seen someone care about that particular choice of terminology, without being sarcastic trying to be funny?
What did this say before the edit?
I’ve never seen this meme format before. Wasn’t too hard to find but there were alarmingly few results. Here’s an unedited copy: https://pin.it/4IDvvJwNb
I think what I’m trying to say is: where are you getting your memes? What should I make of this obscurity?
I imagine there’d be a performance penalty if using a flash drive for the OS. Not sure though.
They’re clearly asking about performance not security
Right, that’s where OP comes in - most malware will be made for Windows, so if you visit such a malicious website, it’ll likely be inert under Linux!
… I’m not saying this is a great reason to use Linux, but there’s at least a little bit of merit to it.
There’s always a risk of JavaScript breaking out of the sandbox and crap like that. Browser vendors do their best to protect against things like that but security is often a trade-off for speed and people like fast software, not to mention browsers are huge and complex and they’re going to have vulnerabilities. A browser’s whole job is to execute remote untrusted code, do you trust it that much to be flawless?
… I mean, I don’t but I use it anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Very well, you seem to definitely know this stuff better than me! I based my comment on this answer and getting this myself on Mint 21.3:
$ cat /etc/debian_version
bookworm/sid
But reading a bit closer, I think this is the key part:
That’s how, for example, Ubuntu 20.04, released in April 2020, can be based on Debian 11 “Bullseye”, which was released in August 2021.
So Ubuntu probably pulled Bookworm before it was released, and before it upgraded policykit. But it’s still to some extent based on Bookworm. Does that sound right?
Mint 21.3 is based on Debian Bookworm (via Ubuntu 22.04, not counting LMDE of course). I don’t know what you’re looking at and I also don’t fully know how this works, but what you said doesn’t seem to be the case.
I’m out of the loop. The answer that references “one person’s personal opinion” is from 2017, and the context it links to is from 2016. Surely things have changed since then, right?
… Right?
(I’m genuinely asking, I’ve got no idea)
Edit: I just checked on Linux Mint 21.3. It’s still on the same version as back then, 0.105. Well, Debian is nothing if not sable!
My guess: it’s a mouthful and not catchy. “Linux” is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With “GNU/Linux” I don’t even know if I’m supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to say the “/” as “slash” or “plus” or “and” or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don’t know how to say it I’m not going to write it, and I’m not going to like reading it.
I can totally see the merits for “GNU/Linux” but don’t underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to “Ginux” it could stand a better chance, but then we’d have another gif situation.
