Kernel debuggers exist. Of course, we're all aware of Linus' opinion on the matter.
I'm not, does he not like kernel debuggers or something?
so linux... don't sweat the people who still don't have a working nvidia driver. it doesn't matter. not even a little bit. you do you, linux, and just go where ever people writing code take you.

I have a barebones re-implementation of QnX for the 32 bit x86, I don't have time enough to clean it up or port it to the 64 bit model. It blew the doors off the competition back in the day (about 2 decades ago), 200K context switches per second on a 33 MHz 486. Fast enough for real time control of all kinds of hardware and with a seamless path from a self hosting desktop environment to embedded hardware. I never got…
Is there source available for this or QNX?
QnX had an open source program going for a while but it was shut down again. See: http://www.qnx.com/news/pr_2471_1.html
Hopefully the author is reading this: fix your ads! I can't even read 1 sentence on an android phone before your ads do full page redirects to spam. Completely unusable.
Linux users often take the idea of 'self-examination' way too far and it turns into 'self-disparagement'. The fact is, if you vet your hardware and use a major distro (Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora) you'll wind up with a perfectly functioning Linux desktop or laptop. You think about it, OSX only runs on a few laptops. Linux runs perfectly on more laptops than exist for OSX. Windows run on many laptops, more often than not…
The occasional hiccups are proprietary Nvidia drivers, and some wifi chips being too recent and needing an open source driver readily available.
I use Ubuntu on a dual boot, I hardly ever boot Windows. And I'm a gamer! Steam + wine is enough for me.
I've been using Ubuntu Linux as my primary OS since 2006, and I can't disagree with many of the annoyances. Especially with regards to graphics drivers and the switch to the Unity desktop. I tried Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop and it is nicer, but couldn't commit to it I guess. But everytime I use Windows and Macs again, I get even more annoyed. Mainly with how slow things are. Even on a new Windows 10 desktop…
When visiting this blog post on my Android phone, the ads (or something) redirect me to a page with popups telling me my phone has a virus and encouraging me to install an app to 'clean' it, using Google branding on some dodgy domain. I seem to get a different one each time. Reported it at https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ but mentioning here so that others don't fall victim to it.
Hard to track what exactly is causing this because of the ~200 requests this website makes before redirecting your browser.
The article itself links archive.org's copy of the article which I would recommend using over the original website since it appears to be free of malicious redirects:

As a daily user of Linux on the desktop for over 15 years, I can appreciate many of these complaints, but despite it's flaws Linux on the desktop is a pleasure to use and is better than any other options. This is a nice resource for kernel developers and OSS contributors who wish to make a difference and solve tough problems.
Not a good idea.
It's not like this guy is biased. He's just thorough and I appreciate that.

Gotta say I agree with the basic gist (certainly haven't read this very long, excellently-detailed article yet), and I've run linux as my primary OS on various ultrabooks for the past sereral years. Just skimming, I found this bit on-point and amusing: > It's worth noting that the most vocal participants of the Open Source community are extremely bitchy and overly idealistic people peremptorily requiring everything t…
