They were talking about development of the Linux kernel, not using the OS. But I also take issue with your “graybeard” comment. Unix has won out for a reason, I and many other who aren’t old hats prefer the flow of development and deployment on Linux/Unix to that of Windows.
- koonsolo 6y agoEspecially in the frontend world it all seems to be unix command line.
- tasogare 6y ago> Unix has won out Nop, it doesn’t. Linux, which is a Unix clone, has won on some category of computers (notably servers) but most unices derivativing from the original one have a marginal market share. > for a reason Price mostly, and access to sources.

- vxNsr 6y agoI’m sorry, I use that as a term of endearment. The GP appeared to me to be implying that those who work on Linux prefer convenience I was just remarking that convenience doesn’t always equal ease of use for most ppl.
