I fucking hate monolithic kernels
Yes please, I want to recompile the entire kernel for every different embedded hardware.
Yes please, I want drivers in the hardware that probably aren’t checked for malware.
But it’s the only functional FOSS Desktop-OS, so I continue using it.
Maybe RedoxOS someday. One can dream.
I think the way that Linux is developed is actually the greatest invention.
The flat bazaar structure of the Linux Kernel Mailing List honestly is the proper way forward with a lot of knowledge and science, not just computing. I think that flat structure would be good for peer-review of science, for instance.
We’ve been using cathedral structures to organize society for so long, people have forgotten that there’s other ways to do it, and I think Torvald’s LKML actually has greater impact than Linux itself, because Linux is just a byproduct of the organizational style.
Absolutely. The product itself is inferior to the alternatives at the time: namely the BSD Mach and GNU Hurd kernels. It was its development model (and the BSD lawsuit) that made it what it is today.
I’ve been keeping Windows around on a VM because of Excel, but lately, I’ve been using Calc to build my spreadsheets more often than booting my whole VM to run one program.
Now, I’m thinking of deleting the VM on my PC. I’m going back to school to take some computer science classes and I might need Windows for that every once in a while. So I’ll probably pick up a better laptop in the future so I can host Windows on Debian because I refuse to dual boot.
IDK who those characters are, just that the macro is a Phineas and Ferb reference.
Maki Harukawa on the left, Kaede Akamatsu on the right. Both characters are from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.
Sliced bread is the worst invention since nazism
Where does this hatred come from?
Yeah wtf haha
Linus brought a Unix-like kernel to the masses, but he didn’t invent the concept. That goes to a bunch of people at AT&T in the 1970s.
