Ever since Oracle bought Sun, I'm not sure whether anyone in their right mind would use Solaris, unless they really have to.
I haven't followed licensing requirements for Solaris recently, but if the Oracle RDBMS is anything to go by, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole.
I used Solaris for a bit, even bought a support contract with Oracle, so I could run a big ZFS array on what I thought would be a more stable platform.
But nope, went back to FreeBSD after 4 months after Oracle's support could not answer even the simplest questions.
Mind you, this was almost a decade and a half ago so I'm sure it's even worse today.
Thank you for making me realize how old I'm getting.
The acquisition of Sun was over 15 years ago...
We don't want your poison, C# developer, and we certainly don't want your "cures" either
if you bought that cure you did something wrong... its free you know?
Free as in freedom.
My roommate use to buy me free beer all the time. But we all know the rules about "free beer" it costs you a gamecube classic controller
On top of that free as in price too.
I charged someone for an Ubuntu Live CD installation back in college.
Its only free if your time is worthless
Not all distros.
Also buy doesn't have to be interpreted in the literal sense.
I never once paid for anything regarding Linux, and I've been using it exclusively for the past 20 years (first redhat, then debian and then finally arch).
i mean that's pretty much where linux GNU comes from, some guy didn't want to pay thousands for stuff he could make himself so he made it himself and boom now probably the most used OS for embedded hardware and servers
yes and no. iirc the Linux kernel came about because Torvalds wanted to learn OS programming and the source code for his Professor's OS was not open. the gnu project on the other hand started by Stolmann for the reson you wrote.
Ohh okay good to know, I didn't know (or forgot) that GNU part.
In legends, it's said that all roads lead to Arch (or Gentoo. Pick your poison I guess)
/s
I'm lazy and I don't have enough patience to compile everything, so arch :-P
I vaguely remember a university professor trying to sell us “Caldera Linux” as his side gig
cringe
The government doesn't want you to know this, but I keep a Solaris ISO under my bed and it cured my RAM leaks..
What kind of stupid take is this?
Man I miss my old Solaris environment so much. It was very esoteric but damn when you understood the ins and outs of Solaris and the broader ecosystem it was such a powerhouse.
Where programming humor?
Ikr it's only funny if it's mentioning things I Iike
No, I meant that this very clearly breaks this subs rule #1. This meme doesn't even touch on any programming stuff.
Time to buy a new UltraSPARC CPU
Was wondering when Solaris would be mentioned
I was confused because I thought that was an actual medicine box
Anonymously is a lie they monitor you through your lan. Unless you write your own firewall.

Who is paying for Linux...lmao

It's because you're not using the heavily gift that are SPARC CPUs
You misspelled OS/2
How you gonna do? You'll a ps2 it! The solution from ibm
Solaris was pretty - that’s about it.
(Yes all SysV variants are intrinsically more organized than Linux but of them Solaris was pretty bad other than the UI. Tru64 IMO was the leader closely followed by Irix. HP-UX and AIX were certainly driven by enterprise compute requirements so generally clunky AF but stable almost to a fault.)
Back in my University days, one of the ”benefits“ of being a 3rd year undergraduate was the labs had Solaris, so much nicer than the greyscale SunOS machines
i have no idea how you reached this conclusion and honestly, i am scared
When an OS is your entire personality.
I use Arch btw.
lol imagine being like that.
You should use Hootux.
Lol you guys. I use Windows 11 Insider Program Education License btw
I almost split my drink you guys.
I use Haiku btw
Noob, I run Linux from scratch
Very masochistic of you
I tried guix once, damn was that even more painful
C'mon, I use TempleOS like a true nerd.
The proverb subsystem is superior to all other OSs
I just microdose the poison. So I’ll be immune. I’m fucking switching the second steam os picks up stable gpu support btw.
Wait...i use arch too (btw)
