Can someone give me an estimate as to when the shitposter/s will go away?
I'll leave the board till then.
Take the UNIX Hater pill

14 years is the perfect time to marry. Prove me wrong.

No I don't notice any glaring Linux design flaws. As an OS kernel program, Linux provides adequate user experience for me.
John Mitchell
No, you prove it, pedobaiter.
Spoke like a true casual. This attitude condemns the industry into mediocrity.
Whatever, it's not like anything will improve ever now.

They are reddit and cuckchan niggers that don't know >>>/g/ exists and awaits them.

He's right though. the "not unix" is just for legal purposes. As in, doesn't have any AT&T code. It's still functionally identical.
Nathaniel Anderson
Not making a point or taking sides. I don't care either way. Just laughing at how there is no way to accurately describe GNU without admitting that it is indeed just Unix in the same sentence. Lying for legal purposes is still lying. It's amazing that he got away with it. Just replace Unix with Windows in your mind and imagine what Microsoft would have done to Stallman. No excuse in the world would save his ass.

React OS is a clone of Windows. ReactOS works by independently implementing the functions of how Windows behaves. Make no mistake, ReactOS is not Windows. Microsoft has no legal recourse to cause the project to cease because ReactOS is not Windows. GNU works in exactly the same way. The name Unix has a specific legal definition and to have the Unix trademark applied to your system carries specific permission from the Unix trademark holder. This is why it's acceptable to refer to GNU as a "Unix-like" and why it's wrong to call GNU as "Unix".

If it works the same way, does the same thing, has the same issues, and was based on it, then arguing that they are not the same thing is just being pedantic. They are identical enough that "GNU is not Unix" is a thing. Even the name is defensive. ReactOS doesn't work like Windows, and it doesn't do what Windows does. It's not Windows, it's shit. If it was Windows, then it would actually be viable as a Windows replacement, but it doesn't replace much of anything, does it? And it won't be until the world suddenly becomes not shit and Microsoft is forced to release the source code for every version of Windows, excluding only possibly the current one, because they are clearly enforcing a monopoly, since nothing is allowed to replace Windows. But that will never happen. But don't forget that Microsoft loves dude open source, dude.
GANNOO and the BSDs are what Unix ended up becoming, they are just branches of the same thing. Barely any practical differences between them. Still Unix. Still a disappointment, and generally shitty. Living proof that if something is dude open source, it will last until the end of times no matter how shitty it is, and it will forever be an excuse to never invent anything better. Then again, that is kinda harsh. It's not that bad. Not compared to the software that runs on it. If it wasn't for that, then it could be more decent. Give me Windows 95 levels of usability and I'll be happy. And it should have the same performance for the same amount of features, and actual design. None of this decent performance but nothing but a window manager bullshit. Do that on Windows and it will be much lighter. We had everything back in the day, so it's possible. Not even 95, Windows 7 is fine too, by current standards. Just compete with anything decent that Microsoft has ever made and Unix can be usable enough until someone makes something else.
