why Unix users hate Linux?

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).

ok, ut which is the advantage? why the kernel of linux that u said is different are not good? 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

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...

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

Many reasons:

1) Many dislike the GPL

2) Some dislike the architecture of the Linux OS

3) Some dislike Linux's stability and reliability problems

4) Some are frustrated with the various forks, schizms, and distribution craziness in the linux world.

Might be others, who knows.

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.

I was unaware that a gigantic internet company like Yahoo! was noone? http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.yahoo.com

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.

Hey, that's really cool - http://www.linuxisforbitches.com/ is the best anti-BSD advertisement I've ever seen, I think I'll never take *BSD users serious again! Poor little creatures: "my OS might be old, slow and uncool, but hey - I have a huge dick!" Come on, I thought this was about operating systems... ;-)

p.s- i loved the way u were carefull of not getting banned for trolling. (but sometimes it doesnt work u know... just alerting u.)

Oh lordy... that is he most infantile site I have seen... lately. It looks like it was created by a young teenage boy who spends a lot of time behind the garage with his dad's Playboy............ :no:

3) The kernel has one job: to keeping the system up, running and stable, not to serve web content - I don't care if it's faster from the kernel.

umm... shouldnt keeping a system up, running and stable be 3 jobs? :blink:

Every *nix admins who respect themselves knows that *BSD makes a better job on mission critical server

Ok enough.

To continue this utterly humorous thread, every *nix admin that respects themselves knows Solaris does a better job on mission critical servers than BSD ever will! :devil:

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...

    • Not Netflix's fault and they had to switch to content creation. Content owners jacked up prices, won't allow them renew, and didn't give them the option to license new content.
    • As sphbecker said you obviously missed the hidden /s at the end of my comment.
    • Everything I have ever read about Windows 11's telemetry collection over Windows 10 is that it's minor. Why would Microsoft be leaving data on the table with Windows 10? That doesn't even pass the smell test. LOL Windows 11 can be less performant in certain cases (and faster in others) but that has always been blamed on extra security features in WIn11. Windows 11 when I used it always ran fine for me. I would say If you were really concerned about either you wont be running Windows to begin with or limited to a secondary machine.
    • There was a brief time when they allowed Netflix (ad free) to pretty much license everything affordable, and piracy actually went down. When they saw how much Netflix was making, number of users, etc, they stopped allowing renewing of content and withholding it to make their own streaming services.
    • Wine 10.9 released bringing EGL support for all graphic drivers and several bug fixes by David Uzondu Wine 10.9 is out now, bringing EGL library support for all graphics drivers. For anyone trying to get Windows software running smoothly on Linux or macOS, this unification of EGL access promises more consistent graphical behavior and potentially better performance for applications that lean on it. EGL is a crucial bridge, letting things like OpenGL ES (often used in mobile apps, some desktop applications, and even games) talk to your system's window manager. Having it standardized across all drivers under Wine means fewer instances where an app might render beautifully on one setup but turn into a pixelated mess or refuse to launch on another. Gamers, and especially those dabbling with newer Windows titles, will appreciate that the bundled vkd3d, Wine's secret sauce for translating Direct3D 12 calls to Vulkan, has been upgraded to version 1.16. Every update to vkd3d generally means improved compatibility with the latest and greatest Direct3D 12 titles and ongoing fixes for stubborn ones. Considering vkd3d is a core component for projects like Steam's Proton, which enables a massive library of Windows games on Linux and the Steam Deck, this update is certainly welcome news. Key improvements vkd3d 1.16 brings include: DXIL shaders are now supported in the default configuration, raising the maximum supported shader model to 6.0. Graphics pipeline state objects can be created from shaders with embedded root signatures. Implementation of the SetEventOnMultipleFenceCompletion() method of the ID3D12Device1 interface. Experimental support for compiling DXIL shaders is now a fully supported and enabled-by-default feature in libvkd3d-shader. libvkd3d-shader has initial support for geometry shaders and various new intrinsic functions. The vkd3d demos now work on both Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS builds. Moving on, support for compiler-based exception handling with Clang also makes an appearance; this is a technical enhancement that can lead to greater stability for applications built using that specific compiler when they are run through Wine, reducing unexpected crashes for a subset of programs. Furthermore, Wine 10.9 introduces initial groundwork for generating Windows Runtime metadata in WIDL, its Interface Definition Language tool. As always with development releases, there is a solid list of bug fixes, 34 of them in this particular version. Some notable ones include resolving fullscreen issues with the classic 3D Pinball - Space Cadet, fixing display artifacts in Empire Earth, sorting out text display problems in the EA app launcher, and addressing crashes or visual glitches in games like Dyson Sphere Program and platforms like Geekbench 6. If you're interested in trying out this release, follow the installation instructions for your platform: Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora, or macOS. Installation guides for other platforms, including Slackware, are also available. The release notes for version 10.9 are available here.
