wtf does gnu mean.

Yes I know that.
But what TECHNICAL reasons are there?

bump

I believe money is the reason, though I've no idea really.

>live free or die
>create proprietary os
Everytime

Because unix is a fucking meme.

The ONLY reason unix had any significance was marketshare, thus, compatibility. The moment Windows took over the market, unix lost all relevance.

Being unix compatible in 2017 is fucking retarded. What matters in 2017 is compatibility with Windows (desktop) and Linux (server).

Actually the way things are going, what matters most in $CURRENT_YEAR for all operating systems is compatibility with a standards-compliant web browser.

Yes goy, unix is a meme. Use are OS built on DOS.

Linux is just a kernel.

And Windows compatibility is just NT compatibility.

EulerOS and K-UX are both UNIX certified Linux OSs, I don't know if they use GNU coreutils or not though

Interesting.
So it's up to the distributions to get themselves certified then?

Also, those two are based on RHEL/CentOS, so I would assume coreutils.

Yes

>my computer is a glorified porn terminal, so is everyone else's!
This is one of my favorite Sup Forums memes.

nah I was referring to web apps.
They're making document editors in the browser
They're making full office suites in the browser
You can manage Amazon cloud servers from the browser
And with WebAssembly, the possibilities will expand.

>They're making
They already have, services like Google Docs and iCloud have been perfectly suitable for a majority of users for a long time, but ambitious projects like the Surface RT and Slate 21 languished on the shelves and the Chromebook has hardly taken over even the low end of the market because in the end, web apps are toy shit for phones and tablets that few people in the market for a PC want to limit themselves to, regardless of whether their needs will be met.

Ubuntu releases two versions a year. Who the hell is going to pay 10k a year for a piece of paper?

becase GNU's Not Unix

It's $15k/year/version/arch, so it'd be $30k/year for each arch they'd want certified.

makes things more flexible

>But what TECHNICAL reasons are there?
No technical.
But plenty of political reasons not to.
