Something like the
Linuxunix philosophy of doing 1 thing and doing it well comes to mind. FOSS no less.deleted by creator
Just cos it’s Foss doesn’t mean it follows the
Linuxunix philosophyI honestly think it’s mostly a problem with the idea that the Office apps are extremely bloated, kitchen sink apps. No one should be looking at Word or Libre Writer and thinking “I’m going to build a contracting system for my clients out of that” or “I bet I could make an inventory system in there” and yet…
Yep.
People try to use Word as a desktop publishing app then complain how it shifts images around. Thats because it’s for documents, which flow page to page.
Use Publisher for DTP, or a real, industry app. Same problem of using Excel for a database purpose.
Yeah this is a better example. Thanks!
That’s the UNIX philosophy, not the Linux philosophy. That idea predates Linux by like a decade.
Apologies, but I’ll also take it since Linux is a subset of Unix. But right you are, it originates there… But is Linux the most interaction we have with Unix like OS in this day and age?
Probably. Mac is Unix like but basically all server infrastructure is running on Linux.
That’s going away with people like poettering running the show.
What show?
There’s a lot to dislike about systemd, and some things to like. Most big Linux distributions are using it now; in regards to this comment though, systemd is a fast executable trying to handle many core system jobs at once. Instead of Cron, openRC startup scripts, networkmanager for networking… Systemd is trying to do it all.
