Good luck. It’s much easier to talk about it. The last open OS I have seen reach a semi-mainstream level of adoption was started in the early 90’s, more than 30 years ago, by some Linus guy.
- fastball 2y agoAnd (basically) nobody running linux is individually verifying the source code of every little piece of software that goes into it (maybe Linus is), so you're still trusting someone.

- tsimionescu 2y agoHow would documentation help you trust the code?
- detourdog 2y agoHow does one understand what is going on with out a clear set of documentation? Either one is so smart they can review everyline of everything they are running. My contention is that it is hard enough to find authoritative documentation much less developing an understanding of the code needed or running. The choice is either many little trust relationships or a giant leap of faith. I feel better served by a giant leap of faith and access to all the technology I can use. I prefer no documentation and consistent behavior to no documentation and a bunch of internet howtos on what might work.
