This is fantastic. The problem with Linux is the dev culture at the top. I've long wished for an alternative kernel project that might serve as a better dev model. This has the potential.
- marsven_422 1y agoThe kernel dev culture is excellent, it's pure meritocracy. We all know that Rust in the kernel is a political operation to change this to woke.
- adrianN 1y agoI'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. Is it a joke that I'm not getting?
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y ago> I've long wished for an alternative kernel project that might serve as a better dev model. Do you have something against FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, illumos, Redox, or (if you don't need a unix-like) Haiku?
- adastra22 1y agoLinux syscall compatibility.
- Cloudef 1y agoDoesn't BSD have that?
- cestith 1y agoSome of them do.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoFreeBSD, NetBSD, and illumos have that.
- numpad0 1y agoLinux won BECAUSE of whatever dev culture at the top you mention, not DESPITE. There are plenty other more permissive Unix-like OS, and none are more relevant than Linux.
- peterfirefly 1y agoA lot of the top maintainers have probably been in that role for too long. 30-40% fresh blood (read: replacements) within a few months would probably do wonders.
