It was the least-wrong mistake when compared to wangblows

Windows is to some degree more secure than non-hardened Linux.

Not Unix itself, but letting it to gain prominence it has.

>>59077672
Yes but gnu was a great idea

C is a mistake

Unix was good. But letting it be more popular than Inferno or Plan 9 is the sad thing. There's no innovation, because capitalism stifles innovation.

how so?

Check the vulnerabilities index. The Linux kernel has nearly as many vulnerabilities as IE6.

No, it doesn't.
But communism stifles the production of anything. Especially that overly-complex notion of "food".

*BSD is better.

It's a meme. UNIX was "stable" because it only run only on specific hardware. DOS/WinDOS was unstable because they had to support 99999999999 variation of IBM PC clones.

if we were to make a open-source OS from scratch, what kind of philosophy should we adopt?

>>59078792
Windows 10 without botnet. We already have it. Run it with ooshutup 10.

Lisp machines

Fuck off M$ shills

ritchie's preface rekt the entire thing

Was TCP/IP a mistake?

>>59077763
>>59078108
Linux is not Unix

was gentoo a mistake

>>59080012
Yesssssssss

>>59078012
There is innovation, but in other areas than low-level systems programming. It's just not interesting anymore. But you 9faggots can keep doing your trivial "research" shit if you want to.

>>59077672
yes

that's why Plan 9 and GNU HURD were a thing.

>>59078792
TempleOS

>>59077672
No, it made perfect sense at the time.
What is a mistake however, is using in it in 21st century.

>>59077903
That book should be called "The Lisp Machine User Butthurt handbook"
