Have you not watched the video then? There are a couple sections on why portability is not important because only Linux matters. Benno's words:
The reality is UNIX is dead… these days I think you've basically got Linux and some rounding errors.
So why is he a FreeBSD developer? Good question.
- kemotep 2y agoLook, I use linux, OpenBSD, Apple and even Microsoft operating systems. I thought the video provided a unique perspective to the systemd discourse that I thought people would be interested in seeing if they hadn’t already. I couldn’t care less if Debian announced that Debian 13 is going to default to s6 or runit as the init system. I have no loyalty to systemd other than the Linux distros I use have integrated with it. The linked article introduced me to s6 which is interesting. I do think there is value in simpler codebases a la wireguard, toybox, and doas. None of the hostilities towards one init project over the other have ever made sense to me but “the battle” was mostly fought before I got into Linux.
- inferiorhuman 2y agoWhat's unique about it? That Benno tosses out a reference to BSD here and there? Otherwise it's just a video of someone dismissing criticism out of hand. Could've gotten that from Lennart.
