It was a Thinkpad 770 and this event occurred in 2015. Even normies want a cyberpunk future.

Well in his defense linux is complete shit. Literally a buggy piece of shit. All distros are the same and boring. Their is a reason BSD hackers are known to be more knowledgeable.

Is that why Linux won the race against UNIX?

Id love to know the details and reasoning behind your opinion on a technical level. As a BSD and HP-UX developer, Id like to know what """hacking""" is possible on unix but not linux. Also system d isn't on every distro.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, FreeBSD, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Free plus BSD.

Thank you for proving you've never used Linux.

I find the claim that Linux is buggy funny considering how it's simultaneously the most used kernel and the most used in critical systems as well. Should we tell banks to run their operations on OS X?
