- baroffoos 7y agoI uninstalled gnu + linux and switched to windows.
- jraph 7y agoThug life! :-) But why would you punish yourself for someone else's acts?
- dTal 7y agoI realize this is a joke thread, but in all seriousness people completely stopped using ReiserFS after Hans Reiser was jailed for murder - despite the filesystem's great performance under some workloads (I believe it was best in breed for small files). I wonder if the effect would have been so dramatic if it hadn't literally been named after him - people aren't necessarily logical about these things. Of course, that moment's hesitation when picking a filesystem in an installer menu is quite different from choosing an OS :)
- pseudalopex 7y agoReiser3 was in maintenance mode and Reiser4 was unstable.[1] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20150921073059/article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/4312 https://web.archive.org/web/20150921073059/article.gmane.org...
- dTal 7y agoEr, aren't all filesystems either "in maintenance mode" or "unstable"?
- jraph 7y agoSh*t, I'm using Btrfs which is not in maintenance mode.
- pseudalopex 7y agoSome are stable but continue to evolve.
- jraph 7y agoI indeed can see myself boycotting a project on moral grounds if there is a decent alternative (and even without a decent alternative in some cases, I guess)
- cat199 7y ago... perhaps it's time to learn some BSD?
- soulofmischief 7y agoHe has stepped down as head of the Free Software Foundation and his name is being dragged through the mud. There are many out there who will try their hardest to remove him from GNU as well.
