   Becoming more annoyed at Linux freaks who just ignore Unix in its entirety and pledge Linux is the greatest thing to happen to computing since Turing. Respect your elders at the very least.

     @nyanide I will say, there's no point in making everything compatible with every flavour of bsd and opensolaris/illumos that exists when a) the feature you rely on is only for the linux kernel. b) you don't even know if bsd or the solari/illumos flavour even supports hardware from the last 15 years.

     That being said, there are legit advantages of using posix compliant components in a posix compliant (not bash, bash isn't 100% posix compatible) shell script be it for portability, speed (arguable) or simply to not add another full program to a embedded environment but a "simple" shell script that uses the core posix utils.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur this is more of a personal grudge, not really a technical one. some people just imply Linux came up with all these great things that people actually came up with in the 1980s in some scrappy university running Version 4 Unix

     @mischievoustomato You don't need to pay attention to Unix, just acknowledge that it did all of the heavy lifting before Linux. Acknowledge that people invented shit for Unix which was adapted for Linux. Stop giving Linux so much fucking credit for everything

     @nyanide sorry but this uh, "unicks"? uhm, doesn't run my games and displays the anime pussy in my laptop. Sounds like a virus honestly.
