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

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
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
Daemons Unleashed
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
Yay, happy hail Satan day everyone. I remember when Intel chickened out and rounded up their 666 megahertz pentium 3 processors to report as being 667 megahertz. Absolute cowards, no wonder China is kicking their ass.
Wished they dropped this on the 13th 👀
The kernel I didn’t even know I needed
lol
Tell me why I should upgrade from my Linux 4.20 kernel
CVE-2020-25220
Ubuntu Satanic Edition’s favourite kernel.
Finally, our time has come
“The number of the beast!!”
