Cuck license

>>57299556
Who are you quoting?
Also, I'm sorry you prefer authoritarianism over public domain.

Real UNIX and Unix and opensourced.
Do not accept any clones

>>57299682
>Real UNIX
>Gnome

>>57299799
I still need to try making a program with X Athena widgets some day.

>>57299799
The only SysVR4 UNIX that didn't switch to gnome was AIX, but it was rarely on a workstation so nobody gives a shit about running a server.

>>57299808
OpenLOOK/Openwindows was the bes widget set. Motif only won because ATT/Sun had to throw the "other guys" a bone during the COSE initiative shit.

>>57299825
>>57299857
I've unfortunately not used any Unix other than BSDs or Solaris. Too bad IBM and HP aren't keen on making them easy to find and install.
I see.

>>57299878

My favorite unix will probably always be Irix on my old SGI Indy.

>>57299808
Athena is cool but it seems to be bugged right now. Maybe it's just the Emacs implementation.

It doesn't tolerate Xdefaults color customizations very well.

>>57300817
Details? I'm curious.
I've tried the Xaw version of Nethack before. I'm actually better at rogue clone though.

I'd provide a screenshot, but I uninstalled that and recompiled it with no X toolkit instead.

Anyway, the Athena menus were unusable, sometimes the font would be the same color as the background.

Not even a valid license plate

Nvidia properity drivers work like charm
Just stop that novememe

They don't work on OpenBSD, retard.

>>57301074
That's because they don't want that blob shit, retard.

>>57301074
nvidia have bsd driver and greate cuda and cuda docker suport
GTFO freetard

>>57301118
Nvidia has a binary FreeBSD driver, yes.
Please come back when Nvidia has drivers for all Unixlike OSes.

>>57301000
The funny thing is it's Digital Unix which ran a mach kernel instead of an ATT kernel. Thus not Unix by /g/ standards.

>>57301174
>implying DEC didn't have multiple OSes
Ultrix, etc

>>57301250
Ultrix was mostly BSD, by the way.

>>57301250

>ultrix wasn't legacy at the time that plate was stamped. Tru64 on Alpha was being made at that time.

>>57299556
this basically

if BSD had a proper license it would have been an interesting competitor to GNU

>>57302832
A proper licence like public domain?

>>57303201
sure, here's a reply

>>57302832
>when freetards credit the GPL for the Linux kernel's success
gets me every time
few people with actual influence on the computing landscape gave a fuck about the GPL when they chose the platform

>>57304712
typical delusional BSD user

your OS is worthless because your license did not create the need for a proper volume of contribution

Corps used what they wanted without giving anything back for decades as they spat on the devs

The public domain is better than the BSD license, honestly. At least it has dignity

Anyone that defends the BSD license outside of academia is beyond delusional

>>57304730
So dooming an OS to be filled with the kitchen sink at the expense of security and reliability is a preferred outcome? I can't see anyone who believes this making it beyond their teenage years without eating lead out of shame. Linux won the battle but is losing the war.

>>57304747
this is the problem with BSD, and maybe it's because it has strong roots in academia

It's full of idealists that would spend 20 years talking about proper architecture without writing a single line of code

GNU/Linux is far from the perfect OS but from the perspective of being the largest collaborative open effort it has been much more successful in security and development over the years. *BSD is ofcourse better at certain niches (at the cost of features, compatibility, marketshare etc) with its closer to cathedral architecture

I believe a larger community looking over a code base has a greater chance of improving an OS than a smaller expert community looking over a tight knit project. The GPL fostered this collaborative effort by design while BSD, true to it's academia roots, functioned as a throwaway license used to publish academic work. The BSD license is nice for academia. It is a complete failure for a modern open system and *BSD as a result faded into obscurity and has only remained relevant due to the corps that leech off it and academic epeen contests.

It's very sad to see all that potential and years of research not fully utilized

>>57304730
>your OS is worthless because your license did not create the need for a proper volume of contribution
GNU/Linux didn't grow to its prominence on edge case bug fixes from hobbyists and git hipsters
>Corps used what they wanted without giving anything back for decades as they spat on the devs
it's funny how GPLtards regularly rip on proprietary software for being so inferior and shitty to their beloved "free" software until a licensing argument pops up and suddenly they're incredibly thirsty for those shitty pajeet contributions

it's not my job to work on your project for you

>>57304827
>this is the problem with BSD, and maybe it's because it has strong roots in academia
so does GNU but we don't see you whining about that
>It's full of idealists that would spend 20 years talking about proper architecture without writing a single line of code
I like how you bitch about "idealism" while whining about "proper" this and "proper" that like a teenager who read an old copy of infoworld for the first time in a RISC thread
>I believe a larger community looking over a code base has a greater chance of improving an OS than a smaller expert community looking over a tight knit project.
Red Hat and SuSE didn't gut the SysV market with a loosely bound "community", they did it with a lot of dedicated, paid developers and a perfect storm of stagnation and FUD

>>57305032
>it's funny how GPLtards regularly rip on proprietary software for being so inferior and shitty to their beloved "free" software until a licensing argument pops up and suddenly they're incredibly thirsty for those shitty pajeet contributions
wanna bet that this is one of those guys that laughs at openbsd for not having nvidia drivers while vehemently defending the GPL at the same time?

>>57305038
wouldn't be surprised, it's not like /g/'s linux militants are a particularly intelligent bunch

Wait Novell owns UNIX?
I guess Open SUSE is the best UNIX amirite?

>>57305032
enjoy circlejerking your cuck license and irrelevant OS on obscure community boards while GNU/Linux dominates in every relevant marketshare because it has a superior license that didn't let it get absorbed into proprietary shitware

I understand you're upset because no matter what goal posts you move and points you deflect with ad hominem after all the bullshit is spewed, *BSD is worth close to nothing while GNU/Linux continues to grow.

>GNU/Linux didn't grow to its prominence on edge case bug fixes from hobbyists and git hipsters
Yes, in your delusional mind it's two people working on it for 30 years like BSD. I suggest a reality check. Take some effort to understand the components a modern OS needs and how many man hours that would require. Ofcourse, you rather just circlejerk your worthless OS and label every feature you don't have as bloat.


BSD users are like people that built a secure one story brick house with no windows, exposed piping, and crude materials and for the last 30+ years are deluding themselves into believing it can even be compared to the skyscraper that GNU/Linux has become. It screams sour grapes

See pic.

If you think it's a garbage board, then stop shitposting on /g/ like it was your garbage board.

I'll disregard your posts from now on.

>>57299261
Installing Nvidia drivers from ports on FreeBSD 11 right now. Working like a sharm and my set of flags is perfect. I think I'm finally trying kde5.

>>57299878
Is HP-UX free for personal/didactic use, isn't it?

>>57305742
No.

>>57305541
you can't just add a bunch of loaded words to the same point I just pulled apart and repeat it again to refute me, this isn't your shitty wintard bait generals

>muh market share
who gives a shit, go use Windows then if marketshare is what it's all about

>Yes, in your delusional mind it's two people working on it for 30 years like BSD.
bullshit exaggeration won't refute it either
if you seriously think that the core team of red hat et al. was a small operation carried by a halo of random shitters on the internet you're the seriously deluded one here

>Take some effort to understand the components a modern OS needs and how many man hours that would require.
good thing software updates don't require writing the whole thing over again from scratch and we already have 30 years of work to keep building on right? the fact that you would say something so retarded really shows how fucking dumb you are, but I mean we've already cleared that since you think that big GPL projects just magically materialize out of a masturbatory cloud of disconnected github trannies and bikeshedding undergrads with no core development team or even general direction to speak of

>Ofcourse, you rather just circlejerk your worthless OS and label every feature you don't have as bloat
ahaha cry more you whiny little bitch
jesus fuck it's incredible how hard you little shits practically cry into your keyboards when you see a threat to your perceived armchair superiority

just goes to show that the majority of GPL shills on this board are egotistical cunts in it for the e-peen and the hippie ideological bullshit, not the actual software

>It screams sour grapes
we're not the ones responding to every mention of a license we don't like with a whiny essay-length tirade about circlejerks and feelgood horse shit about corporate "leeching"

>>57305742
you're thinking of OpenVMS which has a hobbyist licensing program

there's a few 11i v3 torrents floating around though

>>57305877
>who gives a shit, go use Windows then if marketshare is what it's all about
Marketshare is still important. It attracts developers, and thus more and better code, in a feedback loop. Still not as important as freedom, though.

>quantity = quality
that's not really great logic anon, not one bit, especially since the BSDs are generally considered far more "quality" and "elegant" in comparison to more heavy GNU counterparts despite their substantially smaller community and developer base

it's stupid to compare third-party software between GNU/Linux and BSD anyway since they generally run the same shit

>>57306147
This is why ghanoo bc is way faster than BSD one. "quality" my ass.

> despite their substantially smaller community and developer base

>despite their nonexistent testers and code reviews. Even linux have heavy shortage on this.
