"Why Linux sucks" - Bryan Lunduke at LinuxFest Northwest
While reading about the Manjaro non-event I watched this video Linux Sucks and summarized the contents. Interesting because, in my opinion, he basically says Linux succeeds because people think it is cool.
Bad 3 mins - forking is dumb 5 mins - the display server X.Org is ooooold 7 mins - replacing good working software with nearly identical software ie as Canonical does 9 mins - the names suck, e.g Utopic Unicorn, blame Fedora and Ubuntu 10 mins - heaps of unmanaged developers produce heaps of unmanaged code - who manages it? 12 mins - get paid -> get power -> get wacky 15 mins - trends based on distrowatch numbers - the landscape changes very quickly in 1-2 years e.g. interest in elementary takes off and passes Fedora; 19 ins - 1-2 releases per distro per year so lots of duplication of effort and lots of boring repackaging that contributes nothing to advancing *nix Good 22 mins The community - even forks often get rationalised when one fork dominates and the others are rolled back to using it 26 mins - Hardware issues are getting dealt with 27 mins - Wayland display server needs to be right so take time 32 mins - unmanaged developers make code that works even though rationally it shouldn't 44 mins - Linux is cool |
Someone forgot that it was free and not just one O.S but a collection of them available..

My summary grossly simplifies what he talks about.

It took me a minute to work that out. But I meant that he actually talks a lot about Linux being free and developers working for free. He spends quite a few minutes talking about the many distributions that are available - he has about 16 on one graph.
