On the other hand, if BSDs had been more popular, one of these splinters might have dominated the market as much as Linux does, due to the many positive feedback effects of being the most successful free OS.
- geggam 7y agoIt still is a possibility. The Linux community is becoming a mess of things stuck together in and its getting to be really interesting to support.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoThe BSDs aren't really much better in that regard once you leave the base install, and their hardware support is substantially worse.
- geggam 7y agoI will agree hardware still lags but for the target of servers and serving its fine. As far as BSD being a mess after base I completely disagree. Using and understanding a package manager makes life pretty simple. That said if the Linux community did that they would probably realize how silly containers are :)
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoLinux uses a bunch of package managers, it doesn't solve anything yet creates the problem of "X isn't in the repo, now what?".
- geggam 7y agoIf you dont understand that you need to automate and manage your own packages (including containers) for Linux, which meet your requirements, then no framework will help you. You also need to do this for any pipeline for any OS.
