All that "trouble" and "money" will pale in comparison to when a legal notice hits your desk/mailbox.

Just an FYI that GitX won't work on an up to date Mac

Nah mate, you just aren't informed or experienced on this topic.

*zfs on Linux

Arch Linux mainly because of the AUR.

The Microsoft ignore updates is only temporary though isn't it?

Mac won't literally forcibly reboot your machine though if you aren't sitting there to click "no." You can also use `softwareupdate --ignore` on Mac to shut off the notification. I'm not aware of anything equivalent on Windows.

Can't take my workstation hiking or traveling.

the cli interface doesn't change ;)

This is a name I haven't heard in several years.

Rolled up to 11.4 a bit ago, easy and painless as ever. Thanks to all the devs that put time into this OS.

Dedup is a pretty niche use case for most people.

Oh I'll get right on downloading that to my FreeBSD storage boxes, oh wait a minute.....

Arch Linux still runs great on the 2013 MacBooks (if you don't need any Mac only software.)

"It doesn’t have no syntax highlighting," ...[scrolls down] (Blockchain engineer): ahhhhh, ok

All jokes aside, author: "no" should be "any" in this sentence. Double negatives are rarely used in English.

because root on ZFS (for Linux) is a painful endeavour that is best avoided

I started learning kernel internals from these books, I highly recommend all of them.

`Linux should be a solved problem right now`

This is a joke right? Unix is not even a solved problem and it's been around 50+ years.

Yep, the three clicks it takes to disable that really drives me nuts.

"Don't use ZFS. It's that simple. It was always more of a buzzword than anything else, I feel, and the licensing issues just make it a non-starter for me." - Linus

I have a strong feeling Linus has never actually used ZFS.

I'm over here just wanting a laptop that isn't so thin it feels like it's going to snap in half every time I pick it up and has a battery that lets it run for more than 5 hours. Maybe one day the future will bless us with computers that are portable and usable.

What orifice did you pull that stat from?

Good, Oracle lies about their products all the time. They did it to my company when we bought software licenses and I'm sure they do it to others.

2. = Buys CD, gets no FLAC: choices are as follows; 1.) dl FLAC rip 2.) waste my time repeating work someone has already done

I'm always going to pick option 1; guess I'll never be an adult :|

...plug it into networks I'm not authorized to with the default password and forget about it...

but I actually use one w/ octoprint for my 3D printer, really like it.

This article was written years ago

manpages for openssl (`man openssl`) exist on Linux + Solaris + BSD, this seems like a mac usability issue to me...

  man bash  
  man awk  
  man sed  
  man grep

You can also do most of this stuff with Perl one liners if that suits your fancy.
