Can't we REALLY expect Linux to

Yeah, dumping the whole terminal inside a dialog box obviously isn't smart. But SOMETHING has to be fucking done.

Final solution to Downdowsers and NPClosers who literally believe the quality of GUI programs is any better than laughably bad.

If you think there is a problem, write an application monitor for your launcher - for bash its as simple as returning keeping the exit code of the program in the prompt. For a graphical environment you could write a complex loader that uses waitpid(), and monitors stderror, and dmesg. Or, use software that doesn't suck. If the error handling on your program is unacceptable fix it , or file a bug report with the project. Unlike quickbooks, you have a voice in the development of open source software.

From my perspective, it hasn't been worth it. I am normally not intrested in debug output of my graphical programs, and if I am, I will run in terminal. 99.9.. % of the time they just work. The one time they don't I will open terminal and observe the problem. If its worth it to you , things can be done.

As a heads up , some linux distributions like Fedora do have mechanisms to detect and report segfaults graphically (were an application would be unable to do its own error handling) - I emphatically do not want this "SEND | DONT SEND" functionality on my computer.

OP is a lazy and a faggot at that.


but aren't most *BSD people fans of LLVM/Clang because of the license?

Also, let me mention that terminal output often isn't very useful. In fact sometimes it can misdirect you. So dialog boxes with actual information would be great.


If I tried to do that for all the software I use I'd have no time to take a shit. Devs should take care of their own turf.

They still used (or still use?) GCC for a long time.

Well fuck the world i guess man. Your not willing to file a bug report or fix yourself, your not willing to use better software. Everyone sucks as a dev, but your better, you just don't want to do anything about it. You'd rather complain about it on 8ch. Got it.

Hey, it's a discussion thread. I do file bug reports sometimes but I'm not the world police. And I don't dev so I get that it's hard work. But they can be criticized! Especially if Linux aspires to be a Windows replacement.

OP, Linux will never be good because it's based on the Unix philosophy, a retarded way to think of modern end-user computing.

Focus your energy on Haiku, ReactOS or any other alternative OS. At least those have the potential of becoming good some day.

Set up a terminal in the corner of your screen and pipe STDERR there. Problem solved, faggot.
