What's Been the Best Linux Distro of 2014?
An anonymous reader writes With 23% of the year remaining, Linux Voice has donned flameproof clothing to subjectively examine what it feels have been the best distros of the year so far, including choices for beginners, desktop fashionistas and performance fetishists, before revealing a surprising overall winner.
It's so close, can you feel it? https://www.freebsd.org/where.html
The Systemd distribution (or GNU/Systemd/Linux as it is now called) deserves the Man of the Year award this year, because it has unified so many stand alone Unix style components into one unified quality program. By unifying everything into one program, we have eliminated redundant code, bugs, and rallied all of the Linux community behind the one user-space kernel. We can continue this trend of streamlining and eliminating waste, by merging in a compositor, a browser engine. We believe that molecularity will only allow the user to be confused with choices and that good incremental development is like making good stew. Throw everything in.
Well personally, being a hacker since the early 80's wouldn't consider setting some compiler-flags being a hacker.
Hacker since the early 80s with a 7-digit user id... Where were you in the late 90s and early 2000s? Parchman? Bedlam? A cabin in Lincoln, Montana?
lucm, indeed.
Linux supports snake handling in userspace, if your system has serpentd support (if you see /proc/serpents yours probably does); but it does not "do snake handling on the side". Asshole.
