Why don't we make an OS from scratch with no Unix and no (minimal) legacy bloat?What would be the best architecture for this modern OS?
>>108525796At that point it would stop being a microkernel though. Microkernels are supposed to be small and simple to reduce the attack surface, and any kernel that supports such bulk submissions wouldn't be small and simple anymore.
>>108525823it's a trade off I guess
>>108525823And for the record: yes, that means that microkernels are incompatible to modern hardware *per definition*. Anyone who wants to run them on any architecture that has mode switches has:- either very specific requirements that most users do not have (stupidly high demand for availability/stability)- no fucking clue what they're talking about and are very likely on the spectrum (i.e. no fucking clue what they're talking about)
>>108526105what's a mode switch?
>>108526151Switch from user to kernel mode (in x64 from ring 3 to ring 0), involving a drain of the pipeline, a stop of out-of-order execution, a retirement of the user thread state to memory and a retrieval of the kernel thread state from memory. Initiated by either software interrupt or other specific instructions (like SYSCALL), they can take hundreds to thousands of cycles just to initiate.
/g/ anons who have been here for more than 10 years and still use Windows: why?

>>108522353I work from home and the security program and login stuff I need to use isn't supported on linux. And several of the games I play on my private rig aren't supported either.
>>108522419This. I've used Arch for 5 years, Void for 2 and OpenSUSE for 3. Linux is "fine" provided that you have a specific niche to be filled, and you are confortable with getting your hands dirty. Otherwise, I find its a maintenance nightmare, death by a thousand cuts.Eventually you'll find:>Software availability sucks.>Software backwards and forwards compatibility sucks.>Beta-grade software in general that will never be "feature complete" (looking right at you KDE...).>Flatpaks are buggy, and their repos are EXTREMELY SLOW.>This specific kernel, in this specific distro, doesn't like my touchpad/trackpoint on resume/wake.>Crap software debugging tools.>Nvidia Optimus is terrible on Linux.>Getting stuff to work on Wine is a game of "whack-a-mole", with EVERY update.>Getting games to work in Wine/Proton can be hit or miss.>Updates in general are unreliable, and can bork your system due to a package conflict.Comment too long.

Why do zoomers think buying obsolete gadgets is going to cure them of their internet addiction and executive dysfunction?
>>108510014Because it will? Cutting out tech which is literally designed to be addictive and absorb all your free time is a good idea for the same reason quitting smoking is a good idea.

>>108510014>ADHD is awesomeShe's either self-diagnosing and doesn't actually have it, has a very mild version of it or is coping.ADHD is an actual disability. It just makes every aspect of life way harder. From academics, to work, to exercising, to daily chores, to even just talking to people without seeming like you don't give a fuck because you keep interrupting and not listening when they talk. It also makes you more neurotic as you remember th me feelings of struggle more than the feeling of the reward that resulted from the struggle, so most people that have it never achieve even 10% of their actual potential because they just never even try to do hard things, as it doesn't feel rewarding to them.It makes me so mad when faggots that likely just have tiktok brain talk about it like a personality quirk instead of what it actually is, a disability.
>>108510014They also only started doing it after it became a trend. They have no thoughts of their own. Once it stops being a trend they'll stop "caring" about this sort of thing.
Y2K zoomie here, it is a self control issue. My phone is a barren wasteland, and what I tend to do in my ADHD rushes is:>check app updates>play Solitaire>browse the webEven if I were to ditch the web browser, which I once attempted to but found myself reinstalling it just to check some shit on the go, I'd still be frantically checking app updates and playing Solitaire just to keep myself busy. I don't doomscroll social media on my phone, at most I'll read a forum thread or tech news articles. It's all up to me to stop doing that but I lack the self-control to do so.So yeah, dumbphones won't fix the issue. Back when I had one I would play J2ME games on it anyways.

They created the most retarded module system in human history. Even the shitty headers are better.

Nvidia is the Apple/Nike/Mcdonalds of GPUs. People buy them because they don't know better but they go with the "brand name" premium.

>>108525238It's blast processing like sega genesys. Instead of processing one bullet at a time it blasts them like a shotgun shell shooting two shells of pellet numbers into each other at a time instead of one. This blast processing allows more computation so we can have ais like agent smith in the matrix.
>brand nameNo it's for the driver support. They still ship drivers that work on Solaris. Does the competition's first party even work properly on more popular systems like Windows or Linux?I'd rather use something with open source drivers that work and quality hardware but there hasn't been a competitor to Nvidia yet. It's been many years and I'm still waiting for someone to supplant them but nobody is trying.

>>108519468systemd breaks this, in fact, because it names network interfaces after where they are on the PCIe bus. The real culprit however is the retarded motherboard firmware that shifts around the entire PCIe topology because you plugged in one more device.

>>108525273All you get at that point is an even bigger war later on with stronger tech unless nukes still get made around the 50s and everyone gets too scared.Germany and russia wanted the war to happen and britain and france were both growing weaker because of the british empire commiting financial suicide in ww1 and France being decades deep into denographic decline. Something like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to start the war would have still happened.The eastern side was really the only preventable one. It happened because Japan felt they were next on the chopping block of european imperialism and got pushed off the edge by america antagonizing them after ww1 by doing things like forcing the british to break their alliance with them. If china becomes democratic and stable and alligns with the west, it might have still happened though.
>>108525505Super intelligence may not happen, but clearly the tech has enormous power, in the same way browsers, search engines, ISPs hard. And it is also clear it is being increasingly monopolized by a few. And this centralization is a broad trend in technology.

>H.264 license fee surgeWill this affect 4chan?
>>108524570>. Many of its patents have expired, but patent licensing attorney Jim Harlan told Streaming Media that the expiration of a large share of a portfolio doesn’t automatically eliminate licensing obligations. Courts evaluating fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) rates still consider the strength and remaining life of active patents, not just their quantity.
For whatever reason AV1 looks worse than H265 whenever I GPU encode it.
>>108523259What's stopping people from clean room give coding this shit?
>>108524595because you're a RETARD.you don't compare codecs by bad HW encoders.
>>108523259>H.264 license fee surgeI think some people here are confused and/or failed to do their research.There is free open source software for encoding and decing the 264 codec.Any company charging for this will be pushed aside by the many free means of using this codec.Also, I have a memory of downloading and compiling this back when I first had Gentoo, which was in 2005, more than twenty years ago, so the FOSS software for 264 must be mature, complete and stable by now.

>>108525088Robots are basically more for day to day upkeep so you don't have to deep clean as often, they cut down the amount of times you need to vacuum and mop from once a week to once every couple of months which is nice.
