While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.

Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

So I decided that if the architecture is fundamentally sane enough, say it follows some basic rules like it supported paging , then I would be able to say, yes, Linux fundamentally supports that model.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.

I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do.

I'm a big non-believer in manual driver and kernel configuration, be it visual or not.

C++ is in that inconvenient spot where it doesn't help make things simple enough to be truly usable for prototyping or simple GUI programming, and yet isn't the lean system programming language that C is that actively encourages you to use simple and direct constructs.
