  1.  @VenturaIT  I haven't even tried beyond the Raspberry Pi. It makes for a decent CNC operating system. Python runs smoothly and if we let a small microcontroller take care of the hard real time stuff, then it's all good at sending out serial port commands at a couple hundred Baud. Just don't try to run the web browser, unless you want to feel like you are embedded in a giant gummy bear and you can't get your arms to move the mouse pointer. ;-)

  2. Except for Silicon Graphics 40 years ago, you mean? Sure. Why not.

  3. Their experience is typical. I can't detect any trolling there. These are not made up scenarios. This is the reality of every distro I have ever tried.

  4. Is tinkering your excuse for not getting any work done? Mine is that I am lazy by nature. I am an honest kind of guy. ;-)

  5. I am usually programming bare metal on embedded. Dude, you have no idea what a "small system environment" looks like. Debugging happens with a DSO and a logic analyzer. Oh... wait... you don't know how to use those for software development. ;-)

  6. Where is the innovation in Linux? It simply does not work while being many years behind Windows and OS X.

  7. Except that those are not Linux devices. They are Apple devices and Google devices. What makes them work is not Linux code but the billions of dollars of R&D that were put in by large corporations. Let's stick to the facts.

  8.  @cdevidal  Nope. :-)

  9.  @cdevidal  You are correct about yourself. It is not worth arguing with you. :-)

  10. Not invented here syndrome, constant infighting between mental three year olds with compilers etc..

  11. What are the advantages of a horse over a mule? Dude, I don't give a frell. I use the code editor that comes built into my build environment. It works just fine. ;-)

  12. You blame Linux because it is not Gigabyte's problem to translate a bit in a register to a user accessible function. They are making motherboards, not Gigabyte OS.

  13.  @dmknght8946  Somebody who is not very smart. I didn't say that hardware driver GUIs are a good idea on Windows either, did I? You won't find them on Apple hardware. Apple is smarter. :-)

  14.  @dmknght8946  No. Truce? :-) I do agree, by the way, that Linux is in a crappy place. It's not that easy to get commercial companies to support it. That has serious reasons that an experienced business person will easily understand. The problem does not have an easy solution. Microsoft and Apple can simply throw their weight and lots of dollars around. That route is not available to the Linux community, they have neither. What they could do (but won't because it violates the sacred ideology) is to make ONE high performance Linux distro for exactly ONE hardware configuration. That's what Apple does all day long and look how well it works for them. But then, Linux is not Apple, so why should it do the right thing, right? :-)

  15. First thing you need to know about Linux is that it worked GREAT in 1998. Unfortunately they broke it in 1999 and it has never worked since.

  16.  @somnia3423  That is stopped working. It has become the hate-child of software developers who love fighting each other more than they love developing. Would you like yet another window manager with that? How about a new library management system?

  17. The problem is not that things are different but that they are wrong. A desktop OS has to deliver an undisturbed desktop experience. It can not fall back to terminal mode just because somebody clicked "yes". What's next? Delete the kernel and leave the user hanging at the boot manager level with the message "Please insert a boot medium!"? That's ridiculous.

  18. Most YouTubers run Windows and OS X. ;-)

  19. Yes, the driver problem is the fault of the Linux community. They don't care to do what needs to be done to be "on the desktop". Just because something is hard (and costs billions, ask Microsoft how much they are spending on the driver problem) doesn't mean that one can blame it on others.

  20. That distros are the same under the hood isn't true. Even the location of system files differs. Distro builders are usually people with OCD who can't stand that other people have already invented the wheel. They have to prove that their wheels roll better than anybody else's. Usually they don't. ;-)
