History

Born from the community on the RSI forums in multiple Linux related threads, including the people at the “Unofficial Linux Thread” on the old forums and in the old Hardware forums, this organization grew from a vision to unite Linux-using Star Citizen gamers; to share knowledge, skills, stories, and fun.

For the latest news and information about SC on Linux, including our quick install guide, see our wiki

If you wanted to talk about the origin of Linux, we could probably start with Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Richard Stallman or Linus Torvalds, but hey, check it out on your Mobiglas yourself: “Linux”, “Free and open-source software” on Wikipedia.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

In 2952 Linux is still widely used, owing to its open-source nature, ensuring that anyone anywhere can improve and share their improvements allowing the end-user complete control. It was one of the first systems in space, both for machinery, embedded systems, and user laptops. It operates in military hardware, mobile phones, servers, super computers, MobiGlas models, and many other embedded systems. Linux has a proven reliability and an excellent track record.

Manifesto

Greetings, Space Penguins!

The LUG Org is a way for spacefaring Linux users to connect with one another and help each other in and out of the ‘Verse. We advocate for Linux as a platform and organize input for the developers so that they can make the BDSSE, including for Linux users!

We welcome BSD, Mac, *nix users, and all who are interested in Linux. Just like the platform Linux, all are welcome! As this is mainly a non-RP, out-of-universe org and a Linux Users Group, we don’t mind what other organizations our members are in and are neutral towards other orgs. Affiliates are welcome.

Our views are akin to that of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) and other fostering democratic constitutions: We support and encourage all healthy discussions, debates, and questions.

We view that all human beings have equal and inalienable human rights, and so we endeavor to treat everyone with the same respect we would like to be given.

Charter

Respect all: Be helpful, be good.
No flaming, baiting or trolling.

We ask that you leave bad relations – be it warring orgs or personal – at the door. Feel free to pick them back up when you go on your way into space again.
