Not users? Linux development is it's own reward?
- flohofwoe 2y agoUsers should only need to care about what happens in user space. And the most important promise of Linux is "don't break user space". The kernel's programming language is literally just an internal implementation detail, irrelevant for Linux users.
- itishappy 2y agoAh, I see the distinction. Thanks!
- jimberlage 2y agoThe security vulnerabilities that affect my PII kinda contradict the idea that the kernel is an implementation detail. It’s not an implementation detail if I do, in fact, have to care about it.
