Monolithic Kernel

Why the hell, in the year 2024, are we still pushing monolithic kernels! The people deserve microkernels already

No well defined driver abi

Drivers running kernel space, no standard interface, they’re not very portable. It’s a mess

Systemd

What happened to kiss? This is like the polar opposite of kiss. It’s like making emacs foundational to your entire operating system. It’s basically its own operating system. It’s troublesome

GNU is not (Lin)Ux

Enough said

    Well, I do like the systemd. But I have my own list of things. Recent three updates broke - graphic drivers, sound drivers and fingerprint support. If you don’t have much free time, using linux as a daily driver is a huge waste of time.

    It might be time for a functional language with proper borrow checking to write the kernel in

      That’s factually incorrect, Linux was a toy project that was a reimplementation of minix a teach tool operating system designed around POSIX.

          Correlation is not causation.

          Every mass murder drinks water, but not everyone who drinks water is a mass murderer.

              Linux runs the web. All of it. Dark and light. Turn off all the Linux machines, and everyone goes offline. Not a joke.

              Heck, your air conditioner, your car, your phone (Linux/bsd).

              Every Intel processor runs Linux in the ime since 2014? So even windows machines run Linux

              Your angry with the concept of a operating system. That’s like being mad that math exists
