Thanks for this post. I’ve been vaguely thinking about something like this for some time, this is finally the kick I needed to actually look into it!

Do you have any issues to their point or are you having a bad day and decided to call people names?

That’s very interesting. Are you talking about some kind of temporal delay? I’m very curious if it’s something that happens on my end too. Would you have some examples?

This is the first time I’m hearing something like this. People usually complain about exactly opposite of it!

syncthing might also be slightly relevant?

I made that comment in slight jest. But anyway using non GNU OS still is consistent with my viewpoint that you don’t operate the kernel per se. The kernel sits at a layer below what the user operates.

As for the argument of apps being made for Linux, it is nothing more than just a semantic shortcut to the common ground between all these independent OS

Is it, though? I don’t know about you, but most (if not all) of my interactions with my computer are at levels above the kernel

Torvalds wrote the kernel, not the operating system. It’s a part of the GNU/Linux OS ;)

Maybe LibreOffice Draw can help you out? It has PDF editing capabilities

Wow, this was a treat to watch. Never would have imagined Brian Kernighan would be explaining shell pipeline to me in such a cosy setting
