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.

What is this optimized cmatrix you speak of? The normal one slows my desktop to a crawl when it runs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Basically, a "handcrafted" cmatrix with compilation flags focused on optimization and the musl library (which is "technically better" than glib, a standard library on most distros).

Do feel free to try it out however, its only 139KiB -- click here.

tl;dr guide on how to get it running

1- Install docker (docker on most distros -- docker.io on ubuntu and friends)

2- sudo usermod -aG docker (addyourusernamehere)

3- reboot

4- run it with "docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --net none --read-only defnotgustavom/cmatrix:marchedition"
