Lasker Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I saw in couple of news computer sites that OpenBSD users hate Linux, I don't understand why or what is the advantage of Unix over Linux, if Linux is a clone of Unix and is a lot more easy than the Unix itself, any unix user in here can answer to this question, thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/337085-why-unix-users-hate-linux/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertin Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 In my case I don't like Linux because of how the Linux kernel is designed and the kind of people Linux attracts (yeah, all those 14 year old 1337 h4x0rZ who claim to be something they're not).

I'm a newbie and linux user and I love it, the stability is amazing and I saw some screeshots of Unix, the pure unix itself and scare me because looks very diffivcult to manage, even in linux u have to know at least some commands Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/337085-why-unix-users-hate-linux/#findComment-586124473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaNcom Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 A lot of the *BSD users bashing Linux are just bitter that almost nobody cares for their old-and-proven OS anymore (same for Theo, who talks bad about Linux's design without ever having looked at the sourcecode). Problem with most of those guys is that they know next to nothing about the Linux kernel... It's somewhat similar to UNIX but follows completely different design and development paradigms (same with the 2.4/ 2.6 bull many people spread). But hey, that's old - a while ago, I found a website from some self proclaimed BSD-crack bashing Linux, based on Linux features from before Linux 2.0 - the thing is, Linux has beaten BSD in pretty much everything mentioned on the website these days. :-) I've never seen a valid complaint regarding the Linux development model, still, the discussion continues...

Might be others, who knows. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/337085-why-unix-users-hate-linux/#findComment-586124627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j79zlr Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Honestly, I use both FreeBSd and Linux. I use Linux for my desktops because of its better hardware support, and better overall 3rd party support e.g. Flashplayer. I personally just prefer having a split world and userland like FreeBSD does because it helps their stability, my main example; there is no need to check its ports again 150 different versions of GCC, they just have to support the one in world tools. I don't want to start a portage vs. ports argument here, but portage is just WAY too unstable to use in a production environment, and since I believe that source is what you should use in a server due to choice and performance, Linux really leaves you no other option. Sure, you can build anything from source on any distro, but try keeping 20 different packages built from source upgraded without a tool like cvsup or emerge, let alone an entire system. FreeBSD's ports really win in that category. Let's not even get into filesystem heirarchy, or lack thereof.

todd Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Don't take this as a troll, because I love Linux, but I found this website a while ago: http://www.linuxisforbitches.com/ That expresses some of the problems BSD users have with Linux. Check out their forums if you're looking to argue any of those points. I don't know if the mods or original poster want it carried on here.

Miuku. Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I have an issue with BSD users; Majority of them are total no life asshats.

Josh Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Worth their salt AND pepper... Now, I'd go out on a limb and say that Linux is more secure than Windows 2000 OOTB, but not 2003. And after doing the additional lockdowns (needed with Linux too... you real *nix people know what I'm talking about), it's a tough argument...
