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

Originally KRUSRS (net.kraken.usergroups.rhetor) was formed with this vision, but seeing as it didn’t have an immediately recognisable SID as a Linux related org, it was decided that we would move to LUG, the Linux Users’ Group.

For the latest news and information about SC on Linux, see the new Spectrum thread Unofficial Linux Thread 2.

We have an official public thread, mainly for recruiting purposes, in the Organisations subforum on Spectrum.

Click here for a piece of history – our org thread on the old forums for discussing all things LUG because there were no private org forums back then.

Here’s an interview about LUG done by Citizen Star News.

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 2944 Linux is still widely used, owing to its open-source nature, ensuring that anyone anywhere can improve and share their improvements and allowing the end-user complete control. Having been one of the first systems in space (both for machinery, embedded systems and user laptops) and operating in military hardware, other embedded systems like mobile phones, servers, super computers, mobiglas models, etc. it has great proven reliability and an excellent track record.
