Linux Kernel Switching To Linux v4.0, Coming With Many New Addons

Posted by timothy on from the year-of-the-hurr-durr dept.

An anonymous reader writes Following polling on Linus Torvald's Google+ page, he's decided to make the next kernel version Linux 4.0 rather than Linux 3.20. Linux 4.0 is going to bring many big improvements besides the version bump with there being live kernel patching, pNFS block server support, VirtIO 1.0, IBM z13 mainframe support, new ARM SoC support, and many new hardware drivers and general improvements. Linux 4.0 is codenamed "Hurr durr I'ma sheep."

      At least we finally get some understandable technical arguments instead of "it's a monolithic blob" or "it does not respect the UNIX way of doing things".

      If it does, or ever has done, any of these things where is the fucking bug report.

      The server running the bug reporting solution dropped the bug report.

      Don't worry, systemd does not take over existing projects, it only rewrites them poorly.

      That's a bold statement.

      Yeah, I forgot the damned "</b>". Makes me sound like an angry person. Not that I could ever be mistaken for an angry person otherwise.

    I had to check that this wasn't a joke. Fucking hell ... words fail me.

    How about "Ha ha you can't trust us to behave even slightly professionally, as we have just neatly demonstrated"

    Imagine the poor fucking foot soldier in a meeting with the CIO.

    "Yes boss, we should skip MSFTs new offering and switch to the latest Linux update."
    "What's it called?"

    They should have just gone straight to eleven because, you know, it's one more than ten plus that way they could have one-upped OS X _AND_ Windows! (and it's a freaking prime on top of that!)

    Yes, Linux is only on embedded devices. It's not running on my phone, laptop, desktop, and server at all.
