Naturally. And a company like Microsoft, that is right now trying to turn 
Windows into Linux, is simply behaving like a very silly company.

And that is actually the problem that folks have tried to make clear
to you. Being so long in a bubble, working on an a technically lousy
inferior system that decades long did not even manage (maybe not even
intend) to catch up with any state-of-the-art techniques; what do you
expect?

There was a special license for academia that made it possible to
spread UNIX quickly through academia. But that is just one aspect
why it disseminated so fast.

I don't know about you, whether you have an academic technical
background, whether you had the chance to try out UNIX or the BSD
variant these days.

Myself I already knew a couple OSes (for PCs, some not even worth
to call them OS, for medium scale systems, and also for mainframes)
before I had my first contact with a Unix system. With that systems
and OS background it was easy to strive for the better ones; from
the ones I met it was Unix. (BTW, I observed a similar enthusiasm
with a friend of mine, a long year hardcore MS DOS user, when he
got his fingers onto a Unix system.) You might imagine what a joy
it thus was when Linux and the GNU tools appeared, a powerful and
reliable(!) system and OS base, and even (almost) for free.

(For you, I dare to say, it's obviously far too late. That ship has
sailed. If you'd have strived for a broader experience in your early
days it would certainly be a different situation. And I am not only
speaking about systems and OSes, also all project management, tools,
methods, and strategy themes. Just continue your way in your scope.)

I cannot speak for "people". Myself I name any issues I see; Unix
issues are not exempt from that. - I have even a printed version of
"The UNIX - HATERS Handbook" in my bookshelf (though a lot of its
content is meanwhile outdated, it doesn't apply any more). - And I
can certainly collect a page full of deficiencies I see with Linux.
But so what? (For the MS platforms I could probably "fill a book".)
Yet, in past decades, I haven't seen any serious competitor to Unix.
(Note: When I'm saying that I am not considering e.g. supercomputers
doing e.g. massive hydrodynamic computations. But even in this area
there's meanwhile also Linux clusters running.)

Windows sucessfully rolled out to a mass market whilst Unix did not. And 
if your customers are part of the mass market, you have to use it. 
Whilst there is a point in discussing the technical merits of various 
systems, only rarely can you choose systems, and often there no option 
other than to make things work on Windows. And Windows does run a very 
wide variety of programs successfully. And you are not an inferior order 
of human being nor are the issues you face unimportant because you are 
in the position of needing to do that. You are presumably not a 
university undergraduate and grow up.

Which bubble, the one before 1995, or after?

Don't you see that using only Unix-like systems is also a bubble?

I've tinkered only with various kinds of Linuxes. It was fun if your 
idea of fun was spending 80% of your time getting things configured to 
work properly, and doing apt-gets every 5 minutes for yet another 
essential dependency.

But if absolutely necessary I could switch my bubble to Linux, after an 
initial painful period of converting my tools. Then the bubble would 
eventually look very similar to the Windows one. As I say below, I don't 
care about OSes.

I'd say using anything but Unix /is/ a broader experience than using 
only Unix. That latter seems to give people the impression that unless 
every OS should either be exactly like Unix, then it is worthless.

I used whatever OS DECSystem10/20 came with; MultiJob on ICL; RSX11M on 
PDP11; a CP/M clone (that my company, not me, developed); then the 
progression from MSDOS.

Personally I have no interest in OSes other than they a provide a file 
system. Anything involving graphical apps in the 80s, I had to program 
everything down to the last pixel. Using, naturally, my language and my 
compiler.

I also worked for few years in hardware development where the products I 
made didn't have an OS at all when I was working on them, but I needed 
the means to put test programs into them.

There, you had to be resourceful. How would a Unix-like system (did they 
even work on 8-bit machines) have benefited me?

MSDOS and Windows were intended for direct use by ordinary consumers. 
Unix was intended for developers.

Few ordinary consumers directly use a Unix-like system unless it is made 
to look like MacOS or Android. Or they run a GUI desktop that makes it 
look a bit like Windows.

Don't you see that living on Earth is literally being in bubble?

Your bubble contains only one person.

The Unix-like bubble is pertty huge, full of economic opportunities,
spanning from embedded to server.

A lot of embedded systems are Unix-like (and those that aren't often
have Unix-like development environments).  Phones, tables, routers, set
top boxes, IOT, remote sensing, robotics, yaddda yadda.

While you were dismissing Linux in 1995, it was actually going strong,
marching forward. Only fools ignored it.

A year before that, in 1994, I was doing contract work for Linux
already. My client used it for serving up pay-per-click web pages to
paying customers. I was working on the log processing and billing side
of it, and also created a text-UI (curses) admin tool.

> I'd say using anything but Unix /is/ a broader experience than using 
> only Unix.

No, it isn't. That is fallacious. Working with anything else plus Unix
is a broader experience than only Unix. Otherwise, we can't say.

> That latter seems to give people the impression that unless 
> every OS should either be exactly like Unix, then it is worthless.

Actually there are ways in which that is objectively true.

An OS that provides more or less the same semantics as POSIX, but using
interfaces that are gratuitously different, and incompatible, is
worthless in this day and age.

Something that doesn't conform to compatibility standards, and isn't
demonstrably better for it, is a dud.

There is good different and bad different. More or less same, but
incompatible, is bad different.

You're missing my point. Unix imposes a certain mindset, mainly that 
there is only ONE way to things, and that is the Unix way.

That is pretty obvious from the passionate posts people make about it. 
And it is obvious that they struggle outside it, which is why they hate 
Windows - it just isn't Unix!

Meanwhile, a decade before that, the question of OS in my first 
commercial product was utterly irrelevant. It provided a file system and 
it was used to launch my app.

What was it again? I can barely remember. I JUST DO NOT CARE.

Of all those OSes I have used, Windows might rank near the bottom, but 
not for the reasons you think. That's because it operated in protected 
mode so that lots of things which had been easy, became hard.

And now it is just monstrous. As I'm typing this, there are 240 
processes and 2700 threads. In 1984, a machine running my app would have 
exactly process: itself!

(I've just looked up that machine I used c.1985; it was a PCW 8256, an 
8-bit machine running CP/M+. Why not Unix? I've no idea. Maybe it was 
just not practical. Maybe CP/M+ was cheaper.

More pressing to me was how to get programs inside it, given its 
non-standard 3" floppies, and how to display graphics, given that it was 
a word processor with a text-mode display.

How would Unix have helped with that? It wouldn't.)

Well, I've tinkered with Linux on and off since the late 90s. So yes, I 
have used it. I have ported a few of my tools to it in the past.

So I have some experience of it. It's not as though I first used it last 
week. I just don't care for it. But if I had a gun pointed at my head I 
could use it.

Because .... you say so?

I mean, are core OSes really so hard to write that everyone in the world 
has to use the same one? There seems to plenty of amateur OS development 
still.

I build a box where you feed in data in the form of byte-stream, and it 
gives results in the form of a byte-stream. Or replace one of those by 
something physical; say the box is a printer or scanner.

There is no OS specified, you've no idea whether it uses POSIX, or even 
if there's a computer inside.

But if it performs a useful task, then what is the problem?

Same thing if you are working on a self-contained function, library or 
app. It may have inputs or outputs. Do you need to care what OS is 
running? No, only on the job it has to do.

Really you make too much of it. The main thing I don't like is when I 
have some software that is hard to build on Windows when there is no 
reason for it.

In the world of Unix-like systems, there are many, many ways of working.
There isn't one way.

Can you name a software system which doesn't impose a mindset?

For instance, doesn't a spreadsheet impose the mindset that data are
visually represented by entries in tables, linked by formulas?

> That is pretty obvious from the passionate posts people make about it. 

Mostly, what people are passionate about here is pointing out the
mistakes which make others wrong. That's it.

In the world of Unix and Linux, there is a lot of criticism from the
inside. Improvements are made.

The free environments we have now are collectively a huge improvement
over the original proprietary Unix, or even BSD.  As a GNU/Linux user,
when you step inside a proprietary Unix with no free software installed
in it, it's like taking a time machine to the dark ages.

> And it is obvious that they struggle outside it, which is why they hate

Many users of GNU/Linux who are critics of Windows have previous
experience with Windows. Users with no Windows exposure, whose first
system was some kind of Linux

Many applications critically depend on application programming
interfaces (APIs) in the operating system.

If you talk about it, you care.

Sure, easy things like trashing another application, or using
hardware rudely while something else is accessing it!

It's harder to be polite and request things, than to just barge
in and take what you need.

In a protected system, you have to use an operating system API to do
some of those things. Want to put pixels directly into a frame buffer?
Because there is a windowing system you have to arrange that with the OS
and follow certain rules. You can't keep putting pixels there if your
program loses focus and another window is put over your screen area.

Tough luck!

> How would Unix have helped with that? It wouldn't.)

The question how Unix would have helped on an 8 bit CP/M machine forty
years go isn't very interesting today.  At that time, Unix probably ran
best on machines with at least perhaps five to ten times the resources
of that, or thereabouts.

Yes, developing a production OS is very, very hard.

Writing and debugging just one damned driver for an OS (e.g. USB host
controller) can be very hard and take a lot of time.

If that byte stream is incompatible from the one used by every other
such a box in the commercial marketplace, it's a dud. More so if it is
undocumented and changes monthly.

Vendor lock-in.

An app can hide the system from the user, but the app itself
certainly cares about what OS it's running on.

There is a reason; mainly, some of the program depends on a different OS
which is not compatible with Windows.

There is a bit of truth in that - though Unix was also targeted at 
serious computer users, workstation users (such as for CAD, simulations, 
and other demanding work), server usage, and other "big" things.  DOS 
and Windows were targeted at simpler consumer usage, office applications 
and games.

As Linux gained traction, it became perfectly good for "ordinary 
consumers" too.

My mother-in-law has used Linux for the last 15 years or so, for email, 
browsing, writing letters, banking, and suchlike.  And she is as far 
from being a "computer nerd" as you can get!

people find Linux a much better platform for developers than Windows?)

I run a gui that makes my computer look like a computer - instead of 
Windows which tries to make it look like a giant schizophrenic telephone 
(after having gone through stages such as XP's Teletubbies interface).

Of course, with Linux you have a choice - you can pick a giant telephone 
gui if you like.

I didn't quite say that. I meant that Unix with its abstruse interface 
was more suited to technical people such as developers, but also those 
in academia or industry. Who could also afford such a machine (because 
somebody else was paying).

Some aspects of it, such as case-sensitive commands and file system, 
would have caused difficulties. Real-life is not usually case-sensitive. 
Even now, ordinary people's exposure to it seems to be mainly with 
passwords.

(I did a lot of telephone support walking people through dialogs on a 
terminal. A case-sensitive OS would have made things considerably harder.)

But it does seem as though Unix was a breeding ground for multitudinous 
developer tools. Plus there was little demarcation between user 
commands, C development tools, C libraries and OS.

Somebody who's used to that environment is surely going to have trouble 
on an OS like MSDOS or Windows where they have to start from nothing. 
Even if most of the tools are now free.

OK.  There's always been a market for low-end, low-price products on 
low-price hardware.  (That's not a criticism in any way.)  At the 
high-end, it was all Unix at least until Windows NT came out.  And since 
then, it's still primarily *nix for the top end stuff - mostly running 
on Linux, of course.  (Number two choice would be Macs, especially in 
some areas.)

That used to be the case, yes.

I know that's a hobby-horse of yours, but it is completely irrelevant to 
most people.  People who use gui's don't care about case sensitivity.

I've only ever heard of it being an issue when someone has left their 
caps lock on by mistake.

Ordinary users don't use terminals.

I am very used to both environments.  I would consider myself as a 
"power user" of Linux /and/ a "power user" of Windows.  (I admit that my 
advanced usage on Windows is getting a bit out of date.  I've tried to 
avoid anything after Windows 7.)  This is why I can give a qualified 
opinion comparing the OS'es - though it is still obviously an opinion.

Yet it seems like even someone like you, who is supposed to be “used to” 
Windows rather than *nix, still has the same trouble. So maybe it’s not 
about being “used to” *nix at all, there really is something inherent in 
the fundamental design of that environment that makes development work 
easier.

*I* don't have trouble. Only with other people's projects originating 
from Linux.

Apparently, on that OS, nobody knows how to build a program given only 
the C source files, and a C compiler.

Or if they do, they are unwilling to part with that information. It is 
encrypted into a makefile, or worse.

Okay, you basically forced me to laugh right there! Yes, makefiles that 
are "auto-generated" can tend to look a bit "cryptic" for sure.

Programmers and Developers do.

Encrypted? I always thought makefiles were plain text? You can read them 
with less^H^H^H^H "more" - which if memory serves, is also a DOS command?


As an aside I skip most of this rubbish and just dip in occasionally. 
But I think I have some measure of where bart is coming from. Some 
people come at things not as they are, but as they wish they were given 
their background.

I'll go back to lurking and just dipping into this if I've time to waste.

Here's one on my machine I selected almost at random

!ifndef BCROOT
BCROOT=$(MAKEDIR)\..
!endif

BCC32   = $(BCROOT)\bin\Bcc32.exe

IDE_LinkFLAGS32 =  -L$(BCROOT)\LIB
COMPOPTS= -O2 -tWC -tWM- -Vx -Ve -D_NO_VCL; -I../../../../; 
-L..\..\build\bcb5


timer.exe : regex_timer.cpp
   $(BCC32) @&&|
  $(COMPOPTS) -e$@ regex_timer.cpp
|


Whilst some of this is pretty clear, it's not all obvious what the 
second half of the line
$(BCC32) @&&|
is meant to mean.

I thought of some project and decided to look at NASM sources, choosing 
2.15 from a few years ago as it might be simpler.

There was no makefile, only makefile.in of 1000 lines. If I type 'make', 
it says no targets found.

There was also 'configure' of 11,000 lines, so I switched to WSL. Now 
typing ./configure shows:

   -bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

So it doesn't work on Linux either. If I look at INSTALL, it actually 
says use "sh configure". That now says:

   : not found14:
   configure: 30: Syntax error: newline unexpected (expecting ")")

The entire project is only 106 .c files.

If I try compiling a random .c file, it complains of a missing header.

This is all quite typical.
