Unix is so incredibly beautiful. Everyday I discover something new that makes me fall even deeper in love with it.

For real, I've become a huge YAGNI fan over the last few years and Unix is pure yagni. It's so beautifully pragmatic and simple yet flexible and powerful

Screw you downvoter!

@12bitfloat I use Debian with Mate for my primary development OS and plain Debian on all my servers. I really love how intuitive it is.

The downvoter is probably a bot or 4chan troll.

@12bitfloat I have to assume its Buggerfon downvoting

Are the users part of the UNIX's 'YAGNI', I wonder.

/jk

Actually that's true. Unix is very 'dry' and only comes with tools you may need for maintenance or use. In comparison Linux distros come preinstalled with loads of bloat to make the system 'ready to use'. Ofc it's a distro's thing, probably aiming to make it attractive to users. Whereas UNIX only has basic tools and you have to hunt down and install what you need to run there.

@netikras I meant more the general attitude, linux is a unix after all

NEEEEEEERD

@12bitfloat but it's not. It's unix-like, but definitely not unix.

Just like macos. Unix-like, but not quite unix [although closer than linux]

@netikras fair enough!

I shall replay in the manner of my age group

WTF IS YAGNI ?

@AvatarOfKaine "You ain't gonna need it"

Basically the idea that you shouldn't over engineer and over abstract your code. Only write what you actually need
