When you do something with the FPU or SSE registers in the kernel, you need to save their previous state, and then restore them back to their old contents when you're done. The kernel saves/restores the common registers for you, but the math ones are more rarely used, so it saves time overall to not automatically do this on every interrupt and syscall. The functions that were removed and replaced with GPL-only ones are exactly these save/restore ones.

Honestly I have no idea why Oracle keeps Solaris proprietary. My humble opinion is that they will collect more money from support if Solaris is under CDDL .
ZFS is a pivotal part of really brilliant Solaris architecture. I will cal folks behind it a real "visioners" , not those who found how to sell inferior mp3 players to the masses.

No sane enthusiast gamer would use flippin' Linux. "Sunday gamers" are not it. Problem is not only relative lack of games, problem is inferior performance of existing games (compared to windows) and relative lack of 3rd party software important to gamers. Windows platform has plethora of fine-tuning software for over-clocking for example.
Show me Linux-equivalent of MSI Afterburner for example? Or Linux-specific support software for top-of-the-line gaming peripherals? Keyboards, mouse, headsets, joysticks, pedals, throttles..
Lets top it off with the "issue" where Linux-ported games usually lack anti-cheat engines (Valve's games being sole exception) and are lagging multiple versions behind Windows variants.Last edited by aht0; 12 May 2019, 11:00 AM.

Everything has bug reports, I have no idea of what you are talking about for the rest, and you probably don't either.
new software does not run with old unsupported kernel modified to run a crap firmware for crap device. NOTABUG FIXYOUROWNSHIT
you know what a "polkit" even is?
what have windows users to do with anything.

systemd is for servers, not for desktops and embedded devices.
Polkit is a typical IBM made badly designed and implement useless software.
Gnome3 stops more people to use Linux distributions.
