This is a little detail that I like. It made it feel a little more real to see actual code on screen, instead of just something made up and simplified for the audience to understand. But even then, to this film's credit, they found a way to make it clear what Sam was doing.

Th only other place I remember that happening was the series Mr. Robot.

Even hackers creating a virtual universe and sentient AIs couldn't figure out how to install Arch

Tron legacy was excellent, pure aesthetics and rule of cool on top of a simple hero’s journey. Imagine if it came out today, they would’ve pushed the AI aspect of the story to its maximum, would’ve completely killed it. Tron ares has no excuses

I loved it. The music was awesome. Daft Punk, I think? They were in the movie after all.

It was a 2 hour Daft Punk music video and I loved every second of it.

I will never forget it. Saw it in theaters with about 6 buddies and 3 of us took LSD maybe 30 mins before we got there. It was phenomenal lmao

NIN is doing the soundtrack for Ares. Should be another banger!

Isn't Linux the OS running underneath Ubuntu? Hardly their own OS.

Setting aside the needless argument over wether Linux on its own can be considered an operating system, to answer your actual question, yes Ubuntu is a Linux distribution. But OP said they used it “instead of their own OS”.

So what does your comment mean?

Pedantry. It's a family of OSs. Windows is also not an OS.

Notably, the guy above you is wrong still. Ubuntu is a specific Linux distro.

"Just like Windows, iOS, and Mac OS, Linux is an operating system."

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Actually none of these are operating systems as they have no surgeons, anesthesiologists, assistants, nor any of the tools necessary to operate on a patient.
