gnu do? too many things
gnu dont? have a good file system layout. thanks bsd

as someone who has used unix-like systems for over a decade....

yea dude, for one bsd, macos, windows, the entire operating system is maintained by the same company for better or worse. this provides a more seemless, cohesive experience. ( even if open source software is included ) as security holes are maintained, patched. lots of benefits to this. we linux folks are a community full of wikis, self help groups, elitism, and need for alternatives. this has its pros and cons too.

the systemd debate going strong for 10 years it feels, the forking, all the things are so much to keep up with. equally our filesystem /usr/bin vs bsds nice clean local bin arrangement. its just messy, which happens with so many hands on.

and dont get me started on the gnu+linux vs linux vs gnu name debate. the herd project still cant get off the ground and a filesystem isnt a reason to claim ownership especially without a working kernel. in short i dont care what you call it as long as you dont care what i call it.

my actual real frustration with my own community is ever since we got access to a steam client... *what feels like* every single game i look at someone has created 1 if not several "linux port?" posts. though i do love having access to native stuff, i think our self sufficient approach has left us frustrated with those who do not give us access to/hand us native ports or ability to create them.

patience is a virture that takes too long < my summery of *nix ( and im not gonna get into posix complience etc, unix is dead is a nice way to sum that up )
