It's just overzealous /v/edditors who would be more than happy to enlarge their e-penises by installing Linux but game developers support for it is poor, so they need to rationalize their choices by flaming it.

The don't understand the importance of freedom, or they're gaymer babbies or normies who can't be bothered to care about it. The only thing they need is "muh just werks" and "muh gaymes" and linux doesn't always have both of those so hate on it.

Which is so fucking hypocritical. Like the whole LinusKekTips crowd and leddit PCMR crowd. "Look at us, we're free from locked down systems like consoles, we have power and choice over our system". And then they proceed to install and promote an OS that's completely antithetical to that ideology.

The only big PC gaming channel on YoutTube that supports Linux is TekSyndaicate, but they really dropped the ball so far on the Linux channel they made. They have chance to really help Linux adoption, and they've been sitting on their asses. Hopefully this year they push it more.

Not him, but installing packages without updating your sources.

Arch in particular is susceptible to this as you can end up with software that requires other software to be of a certain version but pulls an older version that's incompatible if you haven't done "pacman -Syy" first. This happens especially with kernel versions and video card drivers.

Maybe I confused you with someone else, but it's difficult differentiating among Linux users, because you all sound exactly the same.
You, and other people like you don't understand.
Every fucking time I say to someone: "Maybe Linux it's not the most advanced OS in the world, It won because "Worse is better and all of that" and "free", I get called a fucking 103 i.q. winbabby.
Linux/Unix is a scourge that has taken the whole CS world.
It has literally stalled hardware design since the 1970's (modern CPU are basically C machines).
We have insecure software because the "Worse is better" mentality won.
We think that borking systems by running an update is normal.

>AHAHAHAHAH 103 iq Winbabby

We had arguably more modern operating systems in the 70s/80s that lost because they ran on expensive hardware, and "C machines" got faster and cheaper (economies of scale and all of that).
All we have now is a 1970's OS with a GUI.
And Windows is the same BTW, it's just a lot more polished.

Worse is better refers to creating simpler software with less features. Simplicity is the friend of security. The more features you add, the more potential security holes you have.

In reality meant Unix did 99% of things right, but the remaining 1% resulted in a catastrophic disaster. Example: Morris Worm

>Simplicity is the friend of security. The more features you add, the more potential security holes you have.

Not if you implement your software with an insecure language like C.

Damn there's so much vitrol in your comment that i it becomes very hard for me to take you seriously. I'll try to rescue your actual arguments among all the ad hominems you're issuing (on top of playing to be the victim later, no doubt why everyone treats you like that), so here we go:

>all sound exactly the same.
I see no point on saying this except that you that you're angry that a lot of people don't agree with you

>You, and other people like you don't understand.
I asked you for a reasoning and you was as vague as you could, how you expect for someone to understand?

>I get called a fucking 103 i.q. winbabby.
The only thing i can perceive is that you get angry when someone disagrees with you and you don't help by being passive-agressive.

>Linux/Unix is a scourge that has taken the whole CS world.
that's your opinion and you don't even try to back it up

It has literally stalled hardware design since the 1970's (modern CPU are basically C machines).
explain how

>We have insecure software because the "Worse is better" mentality won.
you're claiming a lot of things but you don't explain anything, who said that "worse is better" in the fist place btw? i only can see a lot of intolerance to other's opinions

>We think that borking systems by running an update is normal.
You're generalizing a lot, but don't give details.

>All we have now is a 1970's OS with a GUI.
explain your reasoning, what makes an os an "70's os"?

>And Windows is the same BTW, it's just a lot more polished.
Again, compared to what and in what areas?

I feel sorry for you if you actually think like this, you see all this as a simple tribal war while hardly analyzing the actual pros and cons of each system and showing a lot of intolerance to other's people tastes

So Linux people don't sound like elitist jerks to you. Because that fits every Linux advocate on the internet.

Bounds checking in hardware for example, because everithing is based on C and C doesn't have bounds checking. [Buffer overflow intensifies]
For a generale view at the question look what people like Alan Kay (a winbabby probably) have to say on the matter.

NT at least tried to be a microkernel design.

Well I'm sorry to break it to you, but the Unix/Linux club is the most tribalistic one.

Windows users range from average Joes to CEOs.
They may be interested in technology, but generally don't care about recompiling kernels.
Linux users on the other hand seem much more technically focused, I don't think this is such a revelation.

There's a lot of important software wrote on c like the linux kernel itself and it's true that there are better languages now without that kind of problems, however you manage to equate potential buffer overflows with the following description:
>scourge
>literally stalled hardware design since the 1970's
Man, sorry if this makes you angry but linux has worked fine for me and for a lot of people i know both in real life and the internet and if any has worked better for me than windows. I just can't find the quality any worse than windows and thanks to it's constant development rhythm any major security problem has been fixed in a week or less. I know it's just my experience but i cannot just equate potential human error to being a terrible thing and more of there's a lot of eyes working on that code in a lot of cases.

Ok i read the link, you initially claimed:
>We have insecure software because the "Worse is better" mentality won.
However i don't see everyone following this philosophy or anyone enforcing it to everyone, in fact, one of the advantages of the open source is that promotes competition and diversity, i'm certain that different developers thinks in a very different way and independently if you follow the WIB or the MIT way of doing things all programs has development cycles and must mature, writting perfect code is impossible, that's why the important thing is how the development is managed.

In short, i not only don't see that this philosophy has "won" in the open source but in fact different developers and communities has very different ideas on how to develop their software.

Unix is written in C
C is insecure
Intel/AMD/everybody else makes "C machines"
useful HLL fetures don't get implemented
buffer overflows happen
people die
computers get hacked

Is that clear now?

There's like a dozen things I want to say to your right-o's anger ass, but you being incapable of reasoning logically makes all of them not worth writing and backing with evidence to completely dispel your entire world view.

Basically, people who are intelligent enough to both dislike the status quo and also work to change it invariably choose a unix-like because the abstracted interface is logically sound.

There is no such thing as a "secure" language, otherwise the halting problem wouldn't be a problem. Hardware cannot solve this either, unless you remove the "arbitrary computation" part of it rendering it useless.

You resorting to generalizations as your argument basis just shows your entire logical reasoning is a Scotsman fallacy. Intelligent people learn first and decide (this is fundamental) second. Please practice becoming intelligent so that people might enjoy talking to you.

Now come the big one.

What are Lisp Machines? The Xerox Alto Smalltalk system of the 1970's?
Believe me there are smart people outside the Unix system. These people pioneered AI and personal computing. Unix did not.

>There is no such thing as a "secure" language,

But there are safer languages and architectures.

good, this is what i was asking for, a reasoning to be able to reply you properly.

>Unix is written in C
Linux is not based on the code of unix, it was created precisely to be an alternative.
>C is insecure
>useful HLL fetures don't get implemented
I concur to certain extend, it's more easy to make a mistake on C managing the memory than other languages.
>Intel/AMD/everybody else makes "C machines"
why you say this?
>buffer overflows happen
ok, buffer overflow in linux or something like that i guess...
>people die
>computers get hacked
And ta-dan this proves that linux is bad because kills people and can get hacked...
...
...
...
Seriously, would you care to actually make sense? not saying that people dying or computers being hacked is a good thing but still...

>You do realize that you sound like a carbon copy of every Linux user I knew a decade ago.
Sorry i'll not fall for your ad hominems, you issued an statement and it didn't convinced me:
linux and the open source is not an scourge and haven't stalled the hardware design, being written in C had not ruined my user experience, and being open allows it to fix mistakes quickly because a lot of interested parties can collaborate. I don't care if i sound like the linux users from a decade ago, how can i know that you was not as wrong back then as you're right now?

>Becuase you can't argue
So your original statement didn't had purpose by itself?
>All we have now is a 1970's OS with a GUI.
By your logic anything based on an os from 1970 in any way will continue being and 1970's os today even having been decades on development?
>>
>>52696263
>what are ...
Not economically viable for more reasons that just "expensive hardware". Smart people migrated to economically viable platforms as brought their toys with them.

And no, there are not safer languages and architectures. Nothing can protect a program that reads arbitrary input from malicious input except restricting the arbitrary part programmatically.

Computer science has some well known problems that render everything rust is trying to accomplish impossible.

Although I do agree that static array bounds should be trivially discoverable, unlike C's decaying array pointers.

Otherwise, either stop emulating Uriel or emulate him all the way.

That's probably plan9 or that formally verified OS. Linux just happens to be economically viable and easy to port to most Harvard architectures for the price of a programmer.

You mean sel4?

You must establish some parameters.
Security? Easy of use? Portability? Etc.

In terms of technical merit and logically sound and scalable abstractions that make expanding the original capabilities easier. Plan9 definitely takes the cake on that one of the OSs I know of.
