Obviously your beloved free software isn't as magical and wonderful as you claimed.
You are the one who usually brings them up, as you did in your first post to this thread. Nobody had even discussed Torvalds or Stallman on this thread until that.
The article that spawned this thread mentions him extensively. You can try to hide the facts all you want but "the father of free software" is a green party leftist nutjob, and the more people who know it the better.
1) Mach falls under a category of free software that you have given a pass on, like BSD (its license is similar).
2) It is "magical." Microkernel-based operating systems (or even hybrid ones) are much more robust and portable than equivalent monolithic systems. Microsoft used a microkernel for NT, which allowed them the wide array of platforms that NT originally ran on. This caused performance issues (due to message passing and processing, a consequence of using microkernels), causing Microsoft to later fold much more into the kernel to avoid it. This made NT less robust and less portable, but faster.
The article that spawned this thread mentions him extensively.
Yet you are the first FReeper to bring him up. We just ignored him. That's because you are fanatical about Stallman, and we aren't.
Wait a minute. Why am I having to educate you on the basics of operating systems architecture? Not only are you a troll, but you’re not a very good one. You should at least have some very slight knowledge of the subject on which you are trolling. You didn’t know what Torvalds’ criticism was about. And even when informed, you didn’t know of the implications of that criticism, and the age-old debate of microkernel vs. monolithic design.
You couldn’t have posted that with any honesty had you known that very, very basic information about operating systems.
Please get educated before you post in tech threads again. I would say get out of your mom’s basement, but most tech people living in their mom’s basement know a lot more about operating systems than you do.
