Comment Re:Who fail to learn, re-implement Unix badly. (Score 1) 560

Our IT department forces engineering to run Cadence ($$$ IC design software) on a Linux VM on Windows sever “in the cloud”. Because you can’t have Linux on the network. Fucking morons. Back in the day we had real Unix workstations. Now it’s windows for the lowest common denominator of morons.

Every time I install Fedora, I have to go through the ritual of removing “rhgb quiet” from the kernel parameters, and putting it in runlevel 3. At least 1080p terminals are supported by default drivers, which is a reason I won’t use Nvidia drivers.

I would not say a Pi is close to the metal. It’s got all the same bloat. It may allow you to control I/O pins with python, but that’s it. The Arduino is using C++, which is also not close to the metal. At one time, only assembly was close to the metal, but I suppose C on an 8-bit processor is an exception, for these times.
