From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I will never understand people using 3rdparty MQ and RPC implementations. What a a PR for rocketMQ right here.
You can and you should implement your communication protocols, most of the time 3rdparties are very wasteful and a security liability. I like ZeroMQ (https://zeromq.org/), they have amazing tech guides (https://zguide.zeromq.org/). I still mostly do my own code.
I may have trust issues but sockets are not THAT hard, they're just amzaingly frustrating to debug, not as much as debuging 3rdparty code.
