Linux uses 8 spaces for indentation. The only problem I have with spaces is that they take up more space, 8x in the cases of 8-level indentations. In fact, if you replace the kernel repo with tabs, you reduce the repo size by 17%. The problem of course is you still need spaces for alignment, and mixing tabs and spaces is disgusting. So spaces it is.

Tabs are for indentation. Spaces are for alignment.
Thomas Garcia
I think everyone uses tabs but text editors just convert tab press to spaces.

If by disgusting you mean it maintains proper formatting while allowing variable tab width, then yes it is.
Nicholas Smith
Yup, spaces are thr way to go

What a (literally) horrible waste of space(s)

Literally irrelevant when the compressed tarball is the same size as tabs.

So why even have indentation? Why even have newlines? Write everything on one single line.

Spaces can be used for both indentation, alignment, and spacing. Tabs cannot. Tabs are therefor inferior and a redundant character.
The only correct use of tabs is to replace all spaces with tabs, like pic related. And suddenly you see just how retarded tabs are. Don't mix tabs and spaces, just use spaces.

>with tabs, everything works fine, because the indentation size isn’t baked in
>with spaces, your formatting breaks and you have to conform to the indentation someone else used or replace everything with your indents
What pros do spaces have? They take up more space and they aren’t variable width.
Lincoln Thompson
Now try to change indentation width without fucking up alignment. You can effortlessly do it if you used tabs for indenting and spaces for aligning.

Who even think about this? I just code and then autoformat it no big deal.
