You have completely undermined the importance what I have been trying to say. We have more important issues than supporting Linux. I say we focus on that before getting to the small things like this.

"Yeah, let's get Blockland supported for Linux! By the way though, IPv4 address will run out in about 12-18 months, and maybe even before that! The IP Addresses will be switched over the IPv6 by all other companies and when the switch does arrive, anyone who port forwards won't be able to host! But Linux support is more important!"

There are millions of addresses left to use even if they run out.

Just no more blocks left to sell. Its all up to ISPs

And we all know what that means.

I don't think Badspot would be too concerned about this due to what Linux is really for (hacking internet, lol). Plus, I think we have a bigger issue on our hands at the moment.

Are you kidding? That's not what Linux is "for" at all. Linux is an operating system, that can do anything, and has many advantages over Windows and Mac.
1. Faster. It's true. People even tested installing Linux on a Mac, and Linux was faster, on Mac's own hardware.
2. More security. You don't even need an anti-virus. Even better security than Mac.
3. Customisation. Windows and Mac are very limited to what they can look like, but for Linux, it's limitless.
4. Open Source. It's always better to be open source, because everyone can contribute. If there ever was a virus on Linux, it would be patched within the day.
I think you get the point.

With that open source, you can make it so you can hack into other people's internet.

What does that even have to do with anything?

WHAT!?

What are you even talking about? You can hack into anyone's computer with any operating system with the right software. However, it is very hard to hack Linux.

If you mean, by introducing backdoors, then that would just as quickly be discovered and patched.

Dream on. If you are the one hacking, you wouldn't share stuff.

True, but I'm talking about internet here, not hacking another computer.

I have been saying that supporting Linux isn't a big issue right now. Barely anyone uses Linux. I just use that issue as an example of something more major, which it is!

ok...

The internet is a network of computers exchanging information.

Barely anyone uses Linux.

Linux is the third most used desktop operating system in the world. It's usage is significantly smaller than that of Windows, for example, but it still has millions of users.

Dream on to you too, good sir. How would you exploit a backdoor without someone having the software with the backdoor in the first place?
