>bullshit distros like Gentoo and Archlinux.
They are much better then "user-friendly" distros which are slower, takes tons of memory and fairly inferior to XP in usability.
Especially atrocious is the new Ubuntu GUI.
>Pthreads is suddenly no longer part of the kernel? Oh wait, it still is!
Pthreads is the interface for multithreading, it is not exposing kernel code to you.
I would suggest reading this before you spew another uneducated opinion

>compile your kernel manually?
I assume you run some automated GUI tool which downloads and re-compiles the kernel for you?
>you never wrote any remotely meaningful software.
I don't intend to dedicate my life to working on maintaining "Scalable Enterprise Solutions", OSes or software to sell. I write mainly for my own enjoyment and "software" isn't the right term(its not a product to sell or distribute), i prefer "code" or "algo" which i do not maintain or distribute(i can publish code snippets or sources if i want, but without any obligations which come with distributing software).
