What the fuck were they thinking?
>>56385950
Linux emulation's been gone since 5.9.
>>56386048
It was outdated and unmaintained. They'd rather work on making native software run better than work on supporting Linux binaries.
If you need Linux binaries or don't want to use alternatives, just stick to Linux.
>emulating an OS when you can use that other OS
If you want GNU/Linux, use it. Dualboot GNU/Linux and OpenBSD.
The only real reason to use openbsd is so you can use pf and sshd. There's no need to do anything else useful on it.
>>56386048
Pull systemd AIDS from the roots?
>>56386191
You can use pf without installing OpenBSD.
>>56386191
It makes a fine desktop OS given all the programs you need are supported. Gets great battery life on laptops too.
will softraid crypto ever be part of the installer? i heard the only reason that's not a thing is because not enough people are testing it in production
>>56386270
All it's missing is a decent graphical browser in base. Maybe they can fork chromium or something.
>>56387896
anything webkit is hopeless
>>56385950
No more Linux jails?
>their new features are less features
:^)
Can you blame them?
Linux is a fucking security risk that year on year the kernel alone receives multiple times more CVE's filed against it than entire Windows OS.
>Even less software than Linux

>2016
Shieeet
It was barely supported anyway, it only worked on i386 and it went unmaintained for a while
>>56388007
>It's popular so that makes it bad
Keep using your opera presto from 2007.
As mentioned previously the layer only worked on i386 and the devs had little interest in maintaining it. If you need Linux just dual boot or run a VM.
>>56386270
Is the battery life seriously good on openbsd compared to Linux?

Geez, are Linux developers even trying?
Remember last time we had a BSD thread and a Windowsfag BTFO Lincucks?
https://rbt.asia/g/thread/S56239752
If Linux can't even compete with Windows, then how can it possibly compete with BSD?

BSD kiddie, everyone

pick one
>>56388809
you're deluded if you think openbsd devs are gonna take webkit in base
LMAO
>>56389362
Just switch to Linux already
>>56389361
I pick "any of that".
>OpenBSD has had Lazarus 1.6 since version 5.9
>Linux doesn't even have FPC 3.0 yet
Holy shit, before Linux came up, what did you use to embarrass yourself?
>>56385950
>>56386048
why the fuck would you not just run it on Linux, or build it on BSD if it's not already in a repo?
Linux doesn't have a real ton of proprietary exclusives anyway, and if you wanted to run proprietary software, why the fuck would you bother when Windows+Cygwin gives you the best of both worlds?
>>56386174

Stallman pls
>>56389488
he really wants steam for BSD despite the fact that he hates BSD
>>56389524
does he not know the web client exists?
>>56389488
>Windows+Cygwin
Why haven't you installed WSL yet?
when I tried Freebsd, I was like
>I'll be fine, there's Linux emulation just in case
I didn't used it even once. Free software is already ported, or can be ported. It's only useful for proprietary binaries like Skype.
This is why Linux sucks as an operating system: lincucks don't see a problem with keeping obsolete legacy code. Then they look surprised when buffer overflows pile up.
>>56385950
Does that mean that I always have to burn the latest Linux on DVD-RW?
>>56388897
It's better than what Windows gets on my laptop and netbook, haven't run Linux on the same machines so I don't know about that. I'd imagine it's close though.
>>56389628
This. Compatibility layers and emulation are only useful for closed-source shit made by capitalist scum.
>>56391986
i would go as far as saying its harmful software
To the guy who was looking for a reason for why toprump was put into the CVS attic:
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=145685460104387&w=2
>>56394582
What should I use now?
>>56394646
I think htop was made portable pretty recently, no?
In any case, the dev of toprump was an OpenBSD dev who seems to have gotten tired of it. Don't know why.
