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.
The invention of sliced bread may function well as a specific point in time after which inventions happen, but sliced bread as an "invention" caused a chain reaction that changed the composition of the bread available in stores, at least in the US, resulting in the bread tasting like shit. So I would not classify it as a great invention at all, rather for what it was: a successful marketing campaign.
Taste the industrialization!
I don't think it was sliced bread that did that I think it was cars here in the uk I can get pretty good pre sliced bread I've had better bread that wasn't pre sliced from those same shops so definitely pre sliced requires a bit lower quality bread to survive at all but not terrible I'd say I've had good pre sliced bread even but there's also really mediocre not very great pre sliced bread that lasts longer the good pre sliced bread lasts about half a week before going off where the mediocre bland kinda chewy stuff lasts about a week but both are available and I think the difference here is that everyone in america insists on weekly shopping because the nearest shop for you guys is an hour's drive away due to car industry lobbying while we're still car centric here and I wish we were better it's atleast to the point that the nearest shops more like a 5 minute drive or half hour walk for most people double that if your areas bad and for me currently it's a 2 minute walk down the road I can't even finish 1 song before I get there if I start it when I leave the door so thank the car and also corn subsidies for terrible american bread not the bread slicer
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.
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.
Sliced bread is the worst invention since nazism
Where does this hatred come from?
Yeah wtf haha
