Everything that I need works perfectly on X11.
Why would I move to Wayland where at least some things DO NOT WORK?
Readit Newsvermaden commented on Moss: a Rust Linux-compatible kernel in 26,000 lines of code github.com/hexagonal-sun/... · Posted by u/hexagonal-sun
The choice of MIT for a kernel feels like setting up the project to be cannibalized rather than contributed to.
We've seen this movie before with the BSDs. Hardware vendors love permissive licenses because they can fork, add their proprietary HAL/drivers, and ship a closed binary blob without ever upstreaming a single fix.
Linux won specifically because the GPL forced the "greedy" actors to collaborate. In the embedded space, an MIT kernel is just free R&D for a vendor who will lock the bootloader anyway.
How the 'GPL' part worked out to force VMware to send back the things they modified?
vermaden commented on Poll HN: What operating system do you primarily develop on? · Posted by u/dennis-tra
FreeBSD.
There are literally TONS of various NAS cases for 3.5 drives - with amd64 or arm64 CPUs - some Mini-ITX or STX based ... what is lacking on the market are NAS cases for multiple 2.5 drives ONLY.
vermaden commented on Is there a difference between GNU and BSD Coreutils? svnweb.freebsd.org/base/s... · Posted by u/OwenGrumbles
There are some.
For example BSD ls(1) is not able to list dirs first.
Other thing is that BSD utils are more strict ... like:
# command -o -p -t -i -O -n -s ARGUMENTS
# command -o -p -t ARGUMENTS -i -O -n -s
vermaden commented on Ask HN: If Unix gets more popular would you use it instead of Linux? · Posted by u/catstor
I already do ... I used FreeBSD on desktops/laptops since 20 years.
