windows 95 was entirely unusable with 4 MB of ram. 8 was a thrashfest, 16 was the point where it could actually switch between multiple programs without waiting 5 minutes

the problem is that linux is designed by committee, literally the homercar of operating systems

debian is free of deadline and budget constraints which means they can spend infinite energy on wankery. unsurprisingly this leads to them developing absolutely nothing.

i never liked redhat because i was scarred by RPM at a young age but it seems like the only linux for adults that want a working system and not more CJ work. this is because it's run by grown ups in a real company and not shadowhawks or debtards but seriously get a Mac

haven't read any of this thread but we're 100 pages in and the year is nearly over and I'm not getting a very good feeling about 2014 actually being the year of Linux on the desktop. good effort, though. better luck next year.

linux really overtook bsd when it came to smp. they made the leap to fine-grained multithreaded kernel earlier while bsd was stuck with the big kernel lock for years.

I'd say 2.4 was the first non-garbage kernel, made better if you used the redhat nptl backport.

The_Franz posted:it wouldn't be so bad if there were proper system call apis to accompany them. having to traverse a directory tree just to know how many processors are in the machine you are running on or needing to parse a bunch of text from /proc/meminfo to find out the system memory stats is loving stupid and a pain in the rear end does Linux still not have a standard dictionary object format that can return complex data?

Coffee Jones posted:isn’t open SSH’s development tied in openbsd and or does that get separate funding and separate governance because it’s so fundamental? you cannot donate to openssh, only to openbsd. they are purposefully entangled and there is no way to specify that your money go to just one thing.

apple, FreeBSD, and android replaced gcc with clang. Linux has no adult supervision that can make this decision system-wide so we’re stuck with gcc forever.
