  • This shows the reason behind moving to bsd instead of linux.

    One of the key problems of linux-libre is that it just grows in size. I strongly feel that a kernel should remove useless code and be minimal but with 30M loc, I find it strange to call it secure. We don’t agree with RMS completely on each point.

    It is true that the progress of the project is very slow. I think that software with very high lines of code is no different from proprietary software since such free software can never be read, forget about understanding, and adopting it for our use. While gnu and fsf are much better than proprietary software, I don’t like them as they don’t produce minimal software. (man pages of gcc are 23k lines long! Lol. Have you had a single reference book that long?) There I follow suckless. Criticism is always welcome!
