Why isn't picrelated more popular on the desktop?
Tried it first time in a VM, installed XFCE and other desktop stuff, don't really see any issues, everything just works.
You have a choice between a normal package manager a-la apt and dnf, or you can compile from source using ports.
Even Apple uses BSD in their products, shame that they have gone to shit after Jobs' demise.
BSD License is true freedom unlike GPL socialism.
What is not to like here?

I ran into somethig scary, /g/.

>Increasingly, the traditional CV and interview are being abandoned as firms use new forms of data aggregation to find employees. This new field of recruitment, dubbed workforce science, is based on the idea that the data individuals create while doing things online can be harvested and interpreted and to provide a better idea of a person’s suitability than traditional methods. (...) “Today, every email, instant message, phone call, line of written code and mouse-click leaves a digital signal. These patterns can now be inexpensively collected and mined for insights into how people work and communicate, potentially opening doors to more efficiency and innovation within companies.” (...)“Résumés are actually curious constructs now because, for the most part, work and our work product is fundamentally digital. Sometimes you don’t even need [résumés]. The reality of what somebody is and what they do … is already resident on their hard drive or their Evernote or their box.net account or their Dropbox cloud.”

>The data-gathering technology, to be sure, raises questions about the limits of worker surveillance. “The larger problem here is that all these workplace metrics are being collected when you as a worker are essentially behind a one-way mirror,” says Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, an advocacy group. “You don’t know what data is being collected and how it is used.”

How does it makes you feel?

Whats the next step? Obligatory cameras at your home, so you will never quit the role of actor for job? Completely giving up your own self and personal life, because "company demands it"?

tldr; memory malware, fuckfuckfuck worse then 0 day.

Newly published report by the Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab indicates that hackers are targeting banks, telecommunication companies, and government organizations in 40 countries, including the US, South America, Europe and Africa, with Fileless malware that resides solely in the memory of the compromised computers.
Fileless malware was first discovered by the same security firm in 2014, has never been mainstream until now.
Fileless malware is a piece of nasty software that does not copy any files or folder to the hard drive in order to get executed. Instead, payloads are directly injected into the memory of running processes, and the malware executes in the system's RAM.
Since the malware runs in the memory, the memory acquisition becomes useless once the system gets rebooted, making it difficult for digital forensic experts to find the traces of the malware.

"The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows ... such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change."

>IPC is at the least Ivy Bridge-E and higher
>SMT for Ryzen is more efficient then Intel's HyperThreading
>Ryzen has no cold Bug
>Cinebench R15 hits 145 single thread @ 3.4GHz on ES, earlier models hit 130-140, retails should hit 140-150
>Most Ryzen ES samples hit 4.3-4.5GHz MAX on Air with all core enabled
>Intel is testing out Skylake-X, and beats out current 6950X with 8C/16T because it can hit higher clocks.
