Don’t know, I haven’t tried them all

I suppose it’s safer, but being old fashioned, I prefer C

Find me a guy with a master’s degree in jazz guitar writing music on Vim & I’ll agree on the emacs point…

• agree
• disagree
• agree
• disagree
• don’t really have a strong opinion on it one way or the other i guess

(I use GNU Guix + GNU Emacs btw)

• yes

• yes

• only if your hardware agrees and you can do without some features

• as just an init system: no, but you get a much more complete package

• who cares?

Flathub is crap

Snap is double crap

Docker would be useful if the networking wasn’t triple crap

• i don’t care
• i don’t care
• i don’t care

use what you like and fits your needs.

You can have all the opinions you want. In the end, the ecosystem (Linux is an ecosystem, not an OS) evolves by people with different drives trying different things, some aspects are successful and are kept, some are developed for a while and dropped, some are brilliant but never reach critical mass.

It’s a somewhat chaotic mix of engineering and tinkering that ultimately works while embracing widely opposing opinions. This quirky nature provides it with strength and flexibility.

Bottom line: we need strong opinions and people who act on those opinions to build the vision they want.

• they both suck in different areas and excell in others
• Vim is only useful when SSH-ing into an embedded device. Emacs can’t even do that. So I agree…
• Tautology
• Tautology
• Yes, but you still need C in a handful of situations

Adding:

• All Unix style shells suck, and the shell should not be based on human readable text, but on serializable objects like in powershell
• The kernel should support windows style acls

• Yes.
• Micro is better than both.
• Maybe it is, I dunno.
• Don’t care.
• Don’t care.

CLI is better than GUI

Keyboard is better than mouse (and don’t even mention touch interfaces)

Run your main computer headless and SSH in from a thin client

(Not my actual opinions, don’t SWAT me)

There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu.

Gentoo is better than any other distribution

The popularity of NixOS is based on sunk-cost fallacy as a result of learning Nix.

I use NixOS, btw.

• The year of Linux will never happen!
• Using flatpaks is the wrong way, only Appimages should exist

I agree with all of the above.
