minus-square@EddyBot@feddit.delinkfedilink6•edit-21 year agothis comment shows how the word of mouth actually distorted the argument its not the linux philosophy but one sentence of the unix philosophy (linux is not unix) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy Make each program do one thing well.
