Probably omitted as “an exercise for the reader” since it’s legally grey. And a difficult exercise. I cannot find it at all
BetaWiki is gonna go wild with this.
Plan 9 has multi-monitor support?
Bash’s posix mode still has a lot of bashisms. The only way to test true posix compliance is to test with other shells like dash
and ash
.
I have found this is the case a lot of time. People will say it’s POSIX compliant shell, but it’ll obviously only be tested in bash Like at that point just make it a bash script, since pretty much every system under the sun has it.
Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing 4 unwraps in a row in Rust code. Like are you sure those errors will never happen? Do you really wanna panic?
And then I do it in my own code and I get it again. Rust error handling sucks ass. (I love Rust btw)

I’m weird and use ArchLinux ARM on my Raspberry Pi computers. I think it’s much easier to admin, especially if you don’t need video accelleration, but I use Arch on the daily, so that’s probably why I feel that way.
I also find that Fedora was pretty nice as well, but felt too bloated for what I needed.
Finally, Alpine was amazing. I used to use it as my daily driver for a while as well, and it is nice, lean, and easy to use. The main downside is that it uses the musl libc meaning sometimes packages won’t work, or things won’t compile. That was very uncommon though and the exception , not the rule.
The main problem I’ve had on ALL of those distributions were the clock. The Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a built-in clock, so you need to use NTP to pull the time down, or else it’ll be extremely out of sync. This means setting up your timezone, etc. RPi OS does this for you, but most DIY distros (Alpine, Arch) will not, so you’ll need to set that up.
Or maybe terminal emulation needs to be brought up to speed with modern computing. New terminal specs and all that.
Nothing is better for remote computing and administration than a terminal. It’s far too data data dense for anything to be competitive.
Nothing is better for quick and easy iteration of programming ideas than a quick text output in a terminal.
It doesn’t need to be destroyed, it needs some iteration. It’s an old technology with a lot of cruft.
