I do not believe it. Once I learned Bash scripting I couldn't let go. I use it all the fucking time. I cant see not using linux now that I know. Windows would be smart to adopt Bash as much as possible but I doubt they will. They have a history of making things shit.
>>54941617
I am a classic case of sour grapes. I tried to switch to Linux, kept running into road blocks. I had the ambition to finally get rid of Windows because I don't play gaymes anymore. It was frustrating to deal with so much shit. Due to my despair and rage, I shit on Linux and Windows users everyday. Like sitting on the fence and throwing rocks at people on both sides.
I want to kill myself as quickly as possible.
>>54941777

This clarifies a whole deal to me actually. I think there are many more like you on /g/.

Seriously where do I go to look for deep understanding about IOMMU. Ive started hardware pass throughs on vm and really want more info.

>>54941793
>Seriously where do I go to look for deep understanding about IOMMU
Well, first of all you need a basic understanding of how virtual memory on x86 works (paging, translation lookaside buffers, these things). An IOMMU is basically an extremely simplified MMU that works on IO addresses instead of virtual addresses.
(see ascii art figure in https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt)

Not really, it's just different. 15 years ago it was still black magic to most people so no one paid attention to what we did. Running an environment in your garage was crazy and only for the geeky guy with long hair.
Now everyone knows a garage to millionaire story, and even the normies want cutting edge hardware.
15 years ago yum, aptitude and zypper didn't exist. Lots of stuff had to be compiled from source. It was a versioning nightmare on Linux, where frequently windows had autoupdaters and we're much better at rolling releases.
Now I can pxe boot into an environment that's managed by a configuration manager and in 1 minute am updated to exactly the version of all applications needed.
FOSS was terrible 15 years ago. Most everything I tried was college project level software that was way out of date by the time I found it.
Now I'm shocked by the technology released as FOSS to the public. I'd have never believed 15 years ago that open365.io or owncloud would be a thing and free.

your being female isn't a dark tech secret. it simply doesn't matter at all.
this is, btw, also my beef with all this "women can code", "girls who code" bullshit campaigns. never have i ever met anyone in real life who thought women couldn't code. the pretense is simply wrong. if you can code, nobody gives a fuck what genitals you got; if you need to talk about being able to code as a women, i'd say chances are you can't code because, you know, if you could code, you wouldn't feel the need to talk about your genitals.
so please, kindly fuck off, everyone who supports those campaigns. go fuck off to the place where there are people who actually think women can't code because of their different set of genitals, because that's where they'll be interested in your arguments. i, in the meantime, will just keep working on awesome shit, not giving a fuck what my coworkers genitals are. unless they're hot and i want to bang them, of course.

If you're "good with Linux" and we assume that that means "the kernel" (as you write), then it's safe to assume that someone who is good with the kernel has actually tried developing a kernel module, right?
And if you've developed a kernel module of a considerable size, you have used gdb or, rather, kgdb.
>>54945380
I don't know shit about the underlying architecture of Windows, but I know how to use that.

>>54945585
I said originally that I knew how to use Linux. I meant Linux as in the colloquial term for Linux based operating systems.
>>54945497
Yes, it's likely that someone who develops kernel modules uses gdb. It doesn't logically follow that using gdb for other purposes makes you "good at Linux"
>we assume that that means "the kernel" (as you write)
This is hilarious. Are you saying you think Linux is something other than a kernel?
>>54945604
Do you also use "NT" to colloquially refer to Windows? Do you also use "XNU" to colloquially refer to Mac OS? Those are the names of their kernels.
>>54945624
>It doesn't logically follow that using gdb for other purposes makes you "good at Linux"
No, but it logically follows that you at least know something about how the ELF loader works.
>This is hilarious.
I don't see why it is funny in any way.
>Are you saying you think Linux is something other than a kernel?
I'm not saying I """think""" anything. Any Linux distro is colloquially referred to as "Linux", so we need to be precise in our terms. OP may very well have meant that he is good at using a Linux distribution.
>inb4 GNU/Linux
GNU is not the only userland for Linux.
>>54945667
"Linux" is often used to refer to a Linux distribution, no matter how much you wish this wasn't the case. Just being anal about it on 4chan is basically just a form of shitposting.
>>54945689
I use gdb and I don't even know what the ELF loader is.
>>54945727
Then you are ignorant. Don't post on /g/ again until you have set a breakpoint in _start and understand how argc and argv are bootstrapped.
>>54945689
>GNU is not the only userland for Linux.
Linux is not the only kernel for the GNU operating system.
>>54945751
That's also true, which is why it would be incorrect to refer to a Linux distribution as "a GNU"
>>54945711
Yes, the term "Linux" is often used incorrectly. That doesn't mean you have to be incorrect, too. Intentionally spreading misinformation is shitposting.
>>54941665
>I use gdb so I'm better than everyone at linux
How does it feel to be 12?
>>54945787
>incorrectly
That's not up to you to define.
The creator himself and the majority of Linux developers refer to any distribution as "Linux". I would say that people who not only use it on a regular basis but contribute to it decide what it should be named, and the consensus is clearly "Linux".
You are free to disagree, of course, but as you are using the less popular definition, you should be specific when you refer to the kernel or to the OS/distro in entirety. It's not our fault if you are misinterpreted when you are using an alternative definition than the rest of us.
>>54945667
Would it make you happy if I amended my original statement to say GNU/Linux instead of Linux?
(Or GNU+Linux if that's what you've recently taken to calling it.)
>>54945829
>you should be specific when you refer to the kernel or to the OS/distro in entirety.
You say that as if there are two, separate and distinct Linuxes. That's factually wrong. There's one Linux, and it's a kernel (not counting different versions or forks of that kernel). It's even hosted on kernel.org.
> It's not our fault if you are misinterpreted when you are using an alternative definition than the rest of us.
I have no problem with being misinterpreted, because I am not conflating a term to mean two different things. You can be sure that when I say Linux, I mean Linux and not something else entirely. The ones causing confusion are the ones that say Linux but mean something entirely different.
>>54945883

Wow. I didn't know there were people who ACTUALLY want a macbook, I thought that every single Mac shill was just b8. It's incomprehensible to me that you would want to waste so much money. There are almost certainly multiple cheaper and better options for your use case.

Unfortunately the MacBooks have mediocre hardware at best, so I ended up buying a gaming laptop that I use as a desktop replacement.
>>54945978
which one?
>>54945966
>the ones causing the confusion
You are part of the problem.
The creator, Linus Torvalds, and a vast majority of 300 kernel developers refer to a complete Linux system simply as "Linux".
The people referring to it as GNU/Linux, BusyBox/Linux, Funbox/Linux, Android/Linux etc are the ones causing confusion: They are setting an artificial and completely arbitrary distinction between OS and kernel. Why is the division at "GNU", why not X? Microsoft calls their flagship OS for "Windows" because of dialogs resembling windows, so why not call it Linux/X windows or simply "X OS" ?
Your definition is arbitrary and artificial and contradicting the consensus. *You* are contributing to confusion, not the other way around.
My secret is that I know linux is inferior in every way to both windows and OSX. Both desktop use and server use, it has too many problems and things that can easily go wrong with out any Rhine or reason.
>>54946048
>why not call it Linux/X windows or simply "X OS" ?
