Why does Linux have more drivers than BSD? Shouldn't the BSD license allow for more proprietary uses?
>>
>>57084508
It's not about the license, anon. BSD has a very small userbase so companies don't boher making drivers for it.
>>
>>57084619
Did it ever occur to these companies that if they made drivers for BSD there would subsequently be more people using thus increasing it's marketshare?
>>
>>57084645
Yes, it's called Apple.
>>
>>57084662
Oy vey.
>>
>>57084508
nothing works on BSD, why would manufactures waste time doing drivers for an useless OS?
>>
>>57084645
Probably not because no one uses OSes for their drivers but for the programs that can be installed on them.
>>
>>57084689
>nothing works on BSD
Almost everything that runs on Linux can run or be ported to run on BSD.

Go spread your FUD elsewhere.

more like almost everything is broken

>>57084645
this is literally the only reason Windows is still relevant
>>
NetBSD-Current has nouveau

3d works too
>>
>>57084645
No because the amount of people who use BSD is negligible.
>>
>>57084645
Companies are not interested in helping this or that OS. This results in costs, and there is no benefit.
