daily reminder than lincucks are even worse than microcucks

Linux is always being 'fixed". What's the problem?
>>51963977
sounds more like windows than linux
De Raadt is a BSD/permissive license guy though, of course he'd have issues with Linux.

Yup Linux must be shit since it's not aimed at 100% retards.

One products without customers have the luxury to "step back" and "fix it". Everyone else has to use continuous improvements to maintain their position. That's why 64 bit Intel processor still have segmentation registers ever though they cannot be used at all in 64 bit mode.
He's probably right but also do note that the Linux kernel doesn't really have the luxury of just being able to "fix" things at any point. Companies expect the kernel to behave how it has always behaved, the kernel's external APIs/ABIs are basically set in stone. If someone changes that and breaks userspace Linus bitches at them and makes them revert their code. This is also why the mitigations that OpenBSD devs push for are in the kernel source tree but not enabled by default. Linus wants the kernel to ship in a workable state and leaves it up to the downstream devs to enable the mitigations.
