zokula··on Did Windows 10 slow down with each feature update?
That's an Ubuntu problem and not an Linux problem thank goodness.

If that's the case, women are more likely to be rapists then men. And I also raped hunreds of women.
zokula··on As religious faith has declined, ideological intensity has risen
> The smartest, most driven people still come to the US to start businesses and seek fortune, because it's the best place in the world to do so.

Keep believing that myth.

> Economic mobility is very high in the US

Not so much. The U.S. is not even in the top 10 of countries for Economic mobility.

Every iPhone comes with an backdoor.
zokula··on FreeBSD from a NetBSD developer’s perspective
>FreeBSD has superior:

>- package management (pkg & ports)

Debatable

>- file system (native ZFS)

Debatable... ZFS is good for many use cases and is a hot broken mess for many others

>- instrumentation (systat & dtrace)

Debatable

>- documentation (handbook & examples in most man pages)

Debatable... I have not fund this to be true in 15 years at least.

>- event notification interface (kqueue vs broken by design epoll & inotify)

Debatable

>- license (BSD, no GPLv3 at all)

Debatable

The GPL is why Linux is miles ahead of *BSD in mindshare.

>- stability (POLA)

Debatable... Maybe 20 years ago FreeBSD was more stable but I had more stability problems with FreeBSD in the last 15 years than any Linux distro I ever used.

>- quality control (no shellshock, no dataloss on fsync)

Again debatable.

>- network performance (200gbps TLS encrypted traffic on a single socket at Netflix, millions of open connections per server at WhatsApp)

LOL debatable again! Youtube, Facebook, Amazon Video, Hulu, most stock trading exchanges. FreeBSD used to be the goto for web servers and services now its nearly dead in that space with market share in the single digits.

>- scaling (there is no cliff when resources get saturated just a bit of a "back pressure")

Benchmarks have shown Linux outperfroming any of the BSD's in scaling since 2003 at least. And the Super Computer and server market proves FreeBSD can't scale.

You just proved his/her point, there is no beauty without humans.
zokula··on GCC drops its copyright-assignment requirement
The SCO Lawsuit against Linux didn't make the BSD's anymore viable, So I fail to see how the AT&T lawsuit made Linux anymore viable.
zokula··on America has a drinking problem
> Yes, the pilgrims preferred beer over water because the water kept killing them. Drinking tea or beer was a matter of safety, not mere preference or addiction.

That's a myth.

Amazon Basics is top quality.
zokula··on KolibriOS
The modern NetBSD kernel is is over 30MB and around 10 to 13 MB compressed in size on i386 and x86_64. So idk were you are getting its going to run in 8MB of memory without major swap slowdowns if it boots at all.

This very much is never going to be feasible for consumer and general purpose computing.

zokula··on Proposed futex2 allows Linux to mimic the NT kernel for better Wine performance
The BSDs were an option they are becoming more moribund and less used every year.
zokula··on Proposed futex2 allows Linux to mimic the NT kernel for better Wine performance
> People seem to like BSD for certain networking stuff due to differences in the respective networking stacks.

Is that why *BSD has lower market share for servers and other networking equipment than it did 15 years ago?
