"Some systems, like Outlook, will uniformly corrupt patches; as a result, companies doing kernel development tend to keep a Linux machine that they can use to send patches in a corner somewhere." Isn't a Linux desktop also convenient for the development itself?
- technion 10y agoI developed a series of patches for the RPi kernel fork. I use the Pi headless, and generally access it from a Windows machine. I never tried to send those patches upstream - and the Pi fork uses Github for such things - but I'm entirely confident that if I tried to paste those patches into an email client somewhere along the line, I'd get an upstream maintainer pointing out that magical line breaks blew something up somewhere.
