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."

    No, it's the kernel. systemd is a crap load of applications. Applications that ignore stderr, drop higher priority syslog messages, and ignores nonzero exit statuses.

    What the fuck is up with you trolls repeating these stupid lies?

    systemd may or may not have problems, but it demonstrably does not "ignore stderr, drop higher priority syslog messages, [or] ignore nonzero exit statuses".

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