Do you have to maintain codebases for your network card and SSD Controller?
- nix23 6y agoWould be nice to have the firmware opensource. Do YOU have to maintain the codebase of your operating-system? If you want to know howto maintain Code for multiple ISA's ask netbsd and openbsd.
- klelatti 6y agoNo but I do have a codebase to maintain and the more architectures the more work! My underlying point was that there are trade offs - more architectures - great for some but a lot more work for others. I'm sure the BSD's go a great job supporting lots of architectures - but they represent a small part of the overall software ecosystem.
- nix23 6y ago> BSD's go a great job supporting lots of architectures Well its an OS, and by the definition the Software that has the most dependencies ISA wise, and it's kind of 'easy' to bring it to another architecture. >No but I do have a codebase to maintain and the more architectures the more work! Depends on your Software and your Language...sure can be more work, but supporting multiple OS's, Databases, Filesystems too.
