Yes, it's "Linux done right". "Y is X done right" is a common idiom. It doesn't imply that Y is a variant of X. E.g in the case he means OS X is a unix-clone

Yes, it's "Linux done right".
"Y is X done right" is a common idiom. It doesn't imply that Y is a variant of X.
E.g in the case he means OS X is a unix-clone (actually a fully certified UNIX) that has made the right choices, Desktop wise, unlike Linux.
- klrr 14y agoWell, it's really hard for Linux to make the right decision. The community is so diverse, FSF developing the userland, OSI the kernel and a third party shipping the distribution of them. The GNU/Linux desktop can't be done right, unless you customize it to your needs.
- hollerith 14y ago>OSI [developing] the kernel That's not true: the Open Source Initiative has no hand in the development of the kernel. The strongest link between the OSI and the kernel is the fact that Linus is more approving of the OSI's position on ethics and co-existence with commercial software than he is of the FSF's position.
- klrr 14y agoWell, that statement is based on a ESRs' quote. "Linux is the open-source community's flagship product."
