Have you taken the MINIX pill? Now that Linux has been pozzed by a CoC, why aren't you using Minix?
>no CoC
>microkernel
>self healing
>supported by Intel
What are you waiting for?
The MINIX pill
Landon Green
Logan Hill
but everyone is already using it.
don't you know what Intel ME is?
Henry Wilson
It's already running in ring -3 on my CPU.
Adam Gray
I meant in userspace
Colton Hughes
Brainlet here, what is self healing?
Brayden Powell
I want to give it a try but I dunno where to start
Bentley Ward
If part of the kernel crashes, the entire thing doesn't go down, and can safely be isolated and restarted
Start with a VM and install some software
Nathaniel Richardson
>install some software
which will fail to compile almost always.
Juan Gomez
Don't forget, utterly useless.
Eli Howard
Liam Sanders
Its just as useful as NetBSD is
Asher Torres
You forgot, useless.
Leo Ross
try compiling firefox from ports on MINIX3.
Parker Brown
we are all using minix, cianigger
Asher Taylor
You mean Intel ME runs an operating system?
Hunter Johnson
>supported by Intel
ugh no, fuck you
Blake Brown
ast is so cute, his books are fun to read
Grayson Hernandez
this, I bought older copies of Computer Networks and the Minix book, and both are fantastic. So well written.
Cameron Nguyen
>Firefox
Found your problem
Yeah x86 is awful
Gavin Phillips
Ok, what browser does work? The most sophisticated one I could get running was w3m, and you can't exactly render much of the web with that.
Owen Morgan
the official git repo says that the latest commit that wasn't bringing the repo up to speed with the latest NetBSD release was years ago. Did they just stop adding shit to the kernel or what? Even if it's only shit like Meltdown and Spectre mitigations, I'd like to see something done to the kernel more recently than 2016.
Hunter Barnes
Drivers run in user space and the kernel has a loop that regularly checks if the drivers are doing ok and if not it restarts them. The name sounds more interesting than what really is going on.
Blake Lewis
There's nothing to add
Jason Wood
Why would I do that? Why does it matter if the drivers are not working? Wouldn't it also make the OS slower because you are running drivers in user space constantly checking if it is okay?
Connor Gonzalez
Imagine making a banter so epic there's a dedicated normies wiki page for it
Tyler Jones
link?
Jordan Parker
Microkernel architecture does not have performance as an aim.
Cameron Allen
Minix is not copyleft and it's likely intel maintains an internal fork they fill with their own improvements and nasties that they then peddle onto the consumer without their knowledge.
Dominic Bennett
>Wouldn't it also make the OS slower because you are running drivers in user space constantly checking if it is okay
Actually no, syscalls are fucking expensive in monolithic kernels due to context switching. Microkernels still have the IPC overhead but on average it doesn't take a significant additional time.

Virgin Linus still receives humiliation from Chad Tanenbaum even after these year for being able to self-heal kernel
Joshua Carter
>loonix runs on a bunch of servers and largely irrelevant gentoo rice machines
>MINIX runs on every single recent Intel x86 chip there is
so Tanenbaum won in the end?

What about hybrid kernels like Dragonfly BSD or Plan 9?
Robert Edwards
>supported by Intel
enough of a reason to not use it
Lincoln Gutierrez
Hybrid kernel is just a marketing term
Leo Cooper
>doesn't know about L4 microkernel
On L4 with Wombat (a Linux interface running in L4 userland) context-switching costs are 50 times lower than in native Linux.
Isaiah Bennett
basically when your driver crash, it just restart that part, like in windows
Adam Lee
tranny's CoC obviously better.
Sebastian Russell
implying Tanenbaum wasn't at fault.
sneaky jew.
