The Thirty Million Line Problem

Electron.
A Browser + Javashit + Javashit frameworks .. all to draw a shitty, half-functioning "web page GUI". This is the state of things.

There's not much code between you and the hardware on Linux, especially in networking. If you use a full system debugger or even attach to qemu you can step through the lifecycle of a UDP packet from when the kernel is notified to when it's delivered to the application and it's not a lot of code. I think a lot of the whinging is from the kind of people who don't belong in tech and are overwhelmed by the complexity of the surrounding system.

nice shill friendo :^), see

...

You can step through the kernel and watch how the driver handles packets. As for the firmware, get a probe and watch it.

Stop shilling so hard, it's embarrassing.

This makes too much sense for Zig Forums. They want to force everyone to stay on Windows but mostly Linux for their ideological/autismo reasons. Unix is an opinion and a bad one at that.

no.

When he shows lines of code in linux-kernel, how much of that are just code for drivers and not actual kernel-code in that sense?

Does that fucker have no idea what amiga kickstart was?
