Gross is all I ' m going to say . Plus looks like you need to lose 30 pounds and tighten up that fupa you have ! !<| sep |> That ' s cute . Clinton ' s fate is sealed , their antics are of no relevance . <| sep |> Yeah , fair enough . But we specifically caused that event to occur earlier than it would have naturally it was our fault that the outbreak occurred when it did . <| sep |> I bet you ' re fun at parties <| sep |> How would it be suspended ? <| sep |> I would re roll if I could but I ' m on steam . <| sep |> never argue with a master of cats <| sep |> Just was about to write a similar comment . Most comments here are either Windows sucks and Linux is better , It ' s open ! , You can customize it ! , It ' s free as in beer ! , and that ' s just sad . Well , to get on topic and answer the topics questionI use the Linux kernel on my desktop computers because it has decent driver support for the hardware I use . But nowadays I bet FreeBSD or other BSDs would run similar well , so here ' s one reason why I don ' t use e . g . FreeBSD . Linux has a technology called inotify to monitor the filesystem for changes . While it has its own issues , it ' s better for my needs than kqueue , which is used in some BSDs and needs to open a file descriptor for every file being watched . So it doesn ' t scale very well if you want to monitor lots of filesdirectories . On macOS there are FS Events , which for the most part solves that , but then again I don ' t own Apple hardware . So Linux it is . Why GNU software ? Well , first of all because I have to . In order to compile my kernel I need gcc . I also use glibc because it ' s a little faster in some areas strstr , strcasestr than musl or others .
