Redpilled Linux master race coming through.

Daily reminder that BSD is an insecure garbage. It doesn't have softwares in its official repos, which makes people use ports. Ports are maintained by a group of basement dwelling neckbeards and software vendors do not audit their compile scripts.

Software vendors provide precompiled binaries for Linux with checksum, but they don't do the same for *BSD.

Furthermore *BSD has a very limited driver support. Even if some device manage to run, the drivers crash due to aggressive mitigation. This is why your laptop turns into a room heater when you run X-org on BSD.

BSD desktop environments are poorly put together. Many desktop environments are developed with Linux in mind. For example Xfce, GNOME, Cinnamon or MATE uses udev for automounting external storage. BSD doesn't have udev: automounting will not work on BSD. I knew this first hand when I tried PC-BSD (a variant of BSD) few years back. Now that GNOME and other DEs are slowly moving to newer technologies like Wayland and Systemd: BSD is and will always remain crippled for desktop use.

Just for the record, I'll let you in some secrets: almost no printer/scanner and bluetooth devices will work on BSD.

Overall my biggest beef against BSD is its philosophy. It claims to be "secure" but its "secure" version has NO softwares. Use ports and it is no longer BSD team's fault that you used "insecure" 3rd party softwares. What a joke!!

Bottomline:
1. Linux fights with Windows in terms of usability while BSD can't even compete with Linux.
2. BSD offers NOTHING practical to be used instead of Linux.

If you are using a free operating system, use one that's usable for desktops. Don't use a router OS (while Linux beats them in routers as well).

Sadly i am lost on my Hackintosh. I have to use a MacBook at work with MacOS (sysadmin for 40 MacBooks so using FreeBSD at work would be stupid). Then i installed Hackintosh for shit n giggles, and now i love all the nice stuff like alfred, or hammerspoon. Sure i can get the same on freebsd with dmenu and some window manipulation scripts. But still i like the comfort too much and i have all my needed packages on macos anyway (homebrew is not nice as the ports system but still). Also i can jump easily into WoW if i want to play again for like 20 Minutes, since i cant simply use the MacOS launcher... Oh god. Please help me anon. WHO AM I

>OS/Kernel
Going great with AMDGPU and latest NVidia drivers. Linux kernel is the most successful kernel and used widely everywhere.

Traditional Unices are ditched for Linux in servers as well. Hotpatching Kernel really did the trick.

Furthermore we now have an init system that heavily depends on Linux-only APIs. Like if you are going to do some developing Linux makes it so easy. BSD doesn't even have a simple mount table (wtf).

Systemd took what was best of Apple's launchd and Solirs' SMF, made it even more modern and implemented it.

The Remote desktop protocol, advanced, network mounts, VT-x support, of course deserves a mention as well.

PID can now hotpatch itself without rebooting and it's also heavily developed for the latest technologies like docker integration, D-Bus socket activation, paralleled boot processes etc. Also obvious to mention how amazing the file system support under Linux is.

Linux also has these -ck, -zen, -aufs, -fbcondecor, -lqx, -mptcp (multipath tcp, how amazing is that?), -tresor, -vfio etc patchset JUST TO FIT YOUR NEED.

This happens when many brilliant developers do their own experiment on the kernel and innovate something new.

Sorry, but BSD isn't nearly as developed while NT is a locked down botnet project

False:

pkg install [software]

FreeBSD provides a checksum in the repo.

>BSD has a very limited driver support.

Ditto Linux. BSD drivers are written by professionals though, Linux drivers are written by 17 year old zit faced retards like you.

>This is why your laptop turns into a room heater when you run X-org on BSD.

My X200 is whisper quiet on FreeBSD 10.3, ACPI worked perfectly out of the box, ditto cpufreq. Sorry to disappoint you.

>BSD desktop environments are poorly put together

XFCE works just fine, you download what you mean. If you need your hand held, use PC-BSD.

>Just for the record, I'll let you in some secrets: almost no printer/scanner and bluetooth devices will work on BSD.

LOL, all my Xerox printers worked JUST fine for me. What the fuck have you been using.

He probably likes systemd as well

Poor virtualization support, no cgroup support for containers, less packages in repo, no systemd for easy monitoring/restarting services, no MAC like Selinux for boxes with many people logging in, poor WiFi support to be used on APs. Thing is that if something does the job without problems then there is no use in switching to a system which has lesser hardware support and lesser features. I was using FreeBSD for my NAS but since have switched to ZFS on Proxmox and it all works very very well. I can run LXC containers or KVM for full virtualization. OSs are meant to make life easier, not harder.
