Linux IS NOT The Future: Technical Debt and File Explorer – Rollin’ Rambles – Jody Bruchon Tech
0:00 Title Card
0:07 Introduction
01:48 Old Monster Energy joke clip
02:45 LINUX IS DEAD
05:16 “Linux” isn’t a complete term
07:23 Windows File Explorer is AMAZING
14:06 Linux doesn’t have ANYTHING equivalent
15:43 The file chooser isn’t a file browser
17:45 Icaros
20:11 Duplicate, non-identical video files
23:39 Explorer makes it easy to GET THINGS DONE
24:29 TECHNO-WEENIE HAZ DUMB WORKAROUND
26:19 If Windows is easier, why would I switch?
27:59 JUST WAIT UNTIL DEATH FOR LINUX TO HAVE IT
29:35 A unified, extensible system vision is EVERYTHING
30:35 Intro to “technical debt:” struct dirent d_namlen
33:55 File name lengths; how a string copy works
36:31 How string length works; why it’s so inefficient
37:50 Why memory copy is SO MUCH FASTER than string copy
38:38 Intermission
39:03 Brief recap of string copy
39:41 strlen() + memcpy() can’t be faster than strcpy()
40:24 Not duplicating effort is important
41:30 Example: web scraping makes 100,000+ files
42:31 EVERY OPERATING SYSTEM knows name lengths “under the hood”
44:34 Example: 100K names @ 16 bytes each = 10X FASTER
49:09 Linus Torvalds made a BIG mistake in 1995
52:48 The 1995 Torvalds technical debt is DEEPLY ENTRENCHED
56:09 EVERYTHING must be changed and rebuilt to fix it
1:01:00 ALL userspace software has to be modified as well
1:02:46 The BusyBox maintainers need to wake up
1:02:58 The “technical debt interest” has grown way too high
1:05:16 THIS IS ONLY ONE ITEM OF TECHNICAL DEBT!
1:06:20 Linux is a dead end that will never replace Windows
1:09:56 Even if you clear the debt, project maintainers WILL block you
1:10:38 The author of fdupes IGNORED my patches for NO REASON
1:14:05 I would NOT license a new OS as “open source”
1:16:35 NO, YOU CAN’T WRITE A DIFFERENT FILE MANAGER
1:19:03 I’ve rejected LOADS of poor quality Git pull requests
1:21:29 It’s too late to clear Linux’s technical debt!
1:24:14 We NEED a new OS to compete with Windows and macOS
1:24:28 Discussion over
1:24:44 Outtake: bad big truck and bad truck driver
1:25:28 Outtake: the times are gettin’ rolly
1:25:34 Outtake: off we go to Hell
1:25:40 Outtake: bad video start
1:25:49 Outtake: I HATE THIS PHONE AND TOUCHSCREENS
1:26:15 Outtake: DON’T FLASH ME, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
