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... ;-)

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...

    • Cloud storage of course is not for all types of files users have but more users should be taking advantage of the cloud because otherwise their files are not backed up at all. Most regular users are not going to do that so automatic backup of their data is a good idea and should be recommended. The cloud is just another service/tool with advantages and disadvantages.
    • People do this with their iPhones and Androids. Smart people use cloud services as backups. No company deletes your account just like that. No company blocks your data for no reason. Having an external SSD and a paid cloud service is a must for anyone who works and for anyone who has sensitive data that needs to be backed up several times. Every CEO of a company has a corporate cloud service on their devices, but home users shouldn't use it, why?
    • Camtasia screen recorder now has a free version that works in your browser by Aditya Tiwari TechSmith, the minds behind Camtasia, has announced an online version of its popular screen recording and video editing tool. The web-based version, called Camtasia Online, is now available through popular web browsers like Google Chrome and Safari. Camtasia Online is essentially a stripped-down version of its desktop counterpart. It is designed to let you screen record, customize, share, and collaborate on high-quality videos without needing to download any software or purchase a subscription. Screen recording tools are often used to create step-by-step walkthroughs and tutorials, personalized feedback or coaching, and showcase a product or service. Camtasia has been around since 2002 and is primarily accessible through paid offerings. The screen recorder has over 34 million users globally. TechSmith offers a free trial of the desktop version, but the exported files automatically include a watermark. That's not the case with its modern counterpart, according to the company, which doesn't require any subscription. Note that while the online screen recorder is free to use, you still need a TechSmith account to use it. "While this first release focuses on streamlined creation, it will continue to grow in capability, and users can move projects into the Camtasia desktop editor for more advanced editing when needed,” TechSmith's CTO, Tony Lambert, said in an emailed statement. The web-based version allows you to create 1080p short clips (Scenes) of up to 5 minutes in length, with options to record a specific app, window, or the entire screen. It can record the screen, camera, and microphone on separate layers for more flexibility during editing. You can record multiple scenes and export them as a single video file. Camtasia Online offers a variety of visual effects and backgrounds, and the ability to pick a custom size and position on the screen. For instance, you can place the screen recording in the top-left or bottom-right corner of the screen, depending on your preference. Camtasia Online comes with more than 85 pre-defined "looks" to match your preference, its maker said. You can remove the background, add borders, drop shadows, make corners round, add reflections, and more, before and after recording a scene. You can also trim a video after recording with support for reversible changes. The online screen recorder also lets you collaborate with other users by sending invitation links. You can either give them access to the entire project or just a single scene. You can also preview the scenes before exporting them or re-record if something doesn't feel right. TechSmith also offers integration with Camtasia 2025's desktop version, allowing you to utilize additional features such as transitions, annotations, and dynamic captions. You can click on the Export button to download the project and use it in the desktop editor. Overall, Camtasia Online could be a suitable option for quick screen recording sessions and a viable choice for beginners. However, one downside is that it can be a bit tricky to download the video file directly through your browser. First, click on the "Export to Screencast" option in Export settings, which opens TechSmith's online hosting service. Then, make sure you're signed in to your TechSmith account, and click on More > Download to download the video file to your device.
