Indeed. So many people seem to be brought up with an almost religious indoctrination that UNIX[0] is the end-all be-all of OS design.
[0] By which of course we mean Linux.
- anthk 5y ago- GNU's Not Unix. - Persistent OS'es are a thing since BOOTP boots for example with OpenBSD or alpine on "diskless" mode. Thank Unix for that for being so simple to implement.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoAre you sure you know what 'persistent' means in this context? Because I cannot see how network booting leads to the kind of persistence we're talking about. In fact, you seem to be describing technologies that help in implementing the exact opposite. Also, you've missed the point of the Linux comment. I'll spell it out: typically people who revere UNIX in the way described have never in their lives used a UNIX system other than Linux (unless it was MacOSX+, of course). Is that relevant? Not really, that's why it is a footnote.
