Fair &#x27;nuff. And no, I haven&#x27;t used commercial UNIXes all that much, but I have experienced plenty of Linux&#x27;s warts. I do agree with a lot of those points, but containers on Linux just aren&#x27;t there, systemd is a mess that&#x27;s going to get pushed in no matter what we say, and there are plenty of issues to be had, although the ladder is true of any UNIX. If you want to know what the rest of the issues are, just start googling. And while you&#x27;re at it, listen to some of Bryan Cantrill&#x27;s talks. They are biased (obviously), but they&#x27;re entertaining, and they do point out some things that I think are real problems (posix conformance (MADV_DONTNEED), and epoll semantics, mainly).<p>Oh, and don&#x27;t flame me for speaking in ignorance. I&#x27;ve been a Linux user for half a decade at least now, and I CAN say I see problems with it. I can also say, as a person who is programmer, that some of the things that Cantrill pointed out are actually evil. Note, however, that I don&#x27;t claim Solaris, or any other OS is better. Every UNIX is utterly fucked in some respect. I just know Linux&#x27;s flaws the best.<p>By the way, I&#x27;ve been trying to get Amiga emulation working for a while. It basically works at this point, but the *UAEs are a misery on UNIX systems. Without any kind of loader, you have to spend 10 minutes editing the config every time you want to play a game.
