If you could redesign Linux userland from scratch, what would you do differently?
If we kept Linux the kernel exactly as it is today, but redesigned everything in userland from scratch (the init system, the filesystem hierarchy, the shell, libc, packaging, configuration, dbus, polkit, PAM, etc.), what would you do differently, and why? ⌘ Read more
