Why are the *BSD less popular than Linux? Both are FOSS *nix

>>57862874
Because BSD is legitimately inferior.

Linux took over, face facts and move on.

>>57862874

Because most people aren't smart enough to use BSD, so they have to use the baby version. Linux users are to BSD users what Windows users are to Linux users.

>>57862874
1: Because it's inferior and

2: It's stupid to have a business that involves something that can be considered satanic imagery. You will lose out on a lot of money you could otherwise have. Any competition that don't use it will have a superior position.

>>57862874
cuck license

>>57862874
Because of DTrace, and it's why Netflix uses FreeBSD CDN (DTrace) and why it's used for BioInformatics (DTrace) and why it's used for crunching CRISPR algos (DTrace).

https://www.joyent.com/smartos

>>57862874
It's because BSD has the cuck license. Even if a big company made massive improvements to the codebase there's literally no reason for them to contribute upstream.

>>57862968
Like Sony?

>>57862914
This is simply not true. I run both gentoo and freebsd and the configuration of freebsd is literally easier then gentoo.

>>57862874
You are using BSD code right now in your phone, system (Mac/Win10/Linux), and likely everything embedded around you is also BSD. Everytime you watch Netflix you're using BSD.

>>57863025
>Android is BSD
HAHAHAHA

>>57862874
When I first started reading about differences between BSDs and Linux, I was intrigued because of their commitment to develop a system instead of a kernel patched with programs that can be used as an OS.

But none of them are supported on my hardware and I can't find solutions to my problems as easily, so it's linux for me. Although I still wish that there was a unified effort to develop an actual OS with all parts maintained by the same people.

>>57863075
I never understood that whole "develop a system instead of a kernel patched with programs" thing.

Can someone explain that to a retard?

I mean, it stall has a kernel, right? What's the real difference?

>>57862874
This is why:
https://appcanary.com/vulns?page=1

Look at all those unpatched vulns. Linux in 2016 is what Windows 98 is in terms of insecurity. If you aren't using a distro like Fedora (SELinux on my default to protect /proc ) or GrSec patches, you are literally running a wide open box any fool can exploit.

Meanwhile BSDs, Windows and MacOSX are taking great pains to secure and audit their systems over the last decade, Linux, not at all. Every one of the big distros (except Fedora) is shipping all security disabled by default.

What you should be doing is running netbsd/freebsd with Xen and then running Linux in a container to stop it's insecurity spreading

>>57863228
To be fair, most of those are already fixed, debian and ubuntu devs are just too stupid to update their packages/repos.

Also both windows and OSX have significantly more vulnerabilities than linux. All of the BSDs have less then all of them though. https://www.cvedetails.com/top-50-vendor-cvssscore-distribution.php

>>57863313
the BSD-kernels are significantly smaller than linux though. Linux is just a monolithic beast, which isn't meant nice here.
If we had statistic with vulns/serious erros density (e.g. vulns/loc) the numbers may be similar.

Also things like namespaces introduce a bunch of vulns, which is weird to bad. Subsystems intended to increase security breaking it....

>>57863228
this is why I use Linux From Scratch, self compiled the whole OS using the most secure hardened setup, not even running X or SystemD, running Wayland and OpenRC alon with stable KDE 5.8, GNU userland (minimal and latest) and Linux-Libre hardened kernel with libreboot and Intel ME in the processor disabled, tried all the CVE exploits and they all failed, BSD is superior though it just is not suited for daily use at all sadly, it has a superior kernel but a not so amazing userland, minimal GNU userland with kFreeBSD is the best setup but you can't really use it for daily use as a modern system yet, BSD even has better gaming performance, Wayland is also being ported to it

>>57863376
I like how the GNU Hurd kernel is designed it just is underdeveloped as hell, I would love to switch to it if it were at all a viable replacement for Linux

>>57862874
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>57863401
microkernels are pretty nice in theory.
and code/effort sharing can be done in userspace aswell, we'd just need more "official" libraries (what I think libblk is).
Hurd suffers from neglect and maybe a bit from linux popularity. The idea is nice, the current state is horrible.

openbsd is the most secure in the world

>>57862922
Reason 2 is honestly why I never even considered looking into or using BSD. I don't want to use / be seen by other people using an OS with some edgy satanist imagery. Linux is going to draw in more users just because of the fact that it's mascot is instead a cute penguin.

>>57863439
I actually plan on helping with development, Linux is such a huge mess at this point that I am open to any other suggestions, I'm probably gonna switch to GNU/kFreeBSD

>tfw no one will rebrand it, improve it, and bring over creative and productive software for professionals
there's a decent to big user base of music/audio, photo, video, and etc people who would switch over to it or linux if they had those things. especially with apple being apple

>>57863519
>muh software for professionals
stop with this meme. I work at a data center and most of our servers run gnu/linux, with a few running BSD for testing and security reasons.

If that isn't """"professional"""" then I don't know what is

Yes, people can go "It's a pun on deamon, you know... a background process" as much as they like, it still makes no business sense. Anyone using FreeBSD for business is a red flag because they are obviously not taking the customers they COULD have. So it's a ineffective organization if they do...

Unless of course the business sells satanic paraphernalia or if it otherwise fits into the theme. But then again they could just use that satanic linux disto.

>>57862874

Not everyone is the specific niche of the market who is both freelance, works from home, spends 40 hours per day editing videos in Adobe Premiere and/or whatever.
Just like it doesn't matter what OS I use at home for my job, I can imagine the same is the case for a vast majority of people.

>>57863738
Well, any competitor can just point out that netflix uses edgy satanic software and then netflix is likely to lose out on thousands of dollars every month.

They only survive because there is no real competition. It's easy to point out that the "open connect appliances" run on satanic software and you would have effectively removed a huge market segment. At least in the world at large. Many religions considers satan to be a bad guy and even religions that don't (like hinduism) it can still be spinned as a omen of bad luck or something because they use a evil diety.

Netflix just don't have any serious competition.

>>57863816
Not everyone is some crazy religious nutter like you.
Most people wouldn't have a clue about what the competitor was talking about if they said that netfilx ran on """satanic""" software, nor would they care. They would just keep using netflix because it does exactly what they need it to.

>>57863805
>40 hours per day

>>57863881
Aah that's why they have everything on the same user account, or same operating system. There's no time for anything else.
You have to both edit YouTube videos 40 hours per day, and play your favorite games, and use Excel to graph those hours in.

>>57863866
>Not everyone is some crazy religious nutter like you.

Anyone selling products or services to the general public also have to sell to this market segment. And you make lots of assumptions about me, I am not even christian.

>Most people wouldn't have a clue about what the competitor was talking about if they said that netfilx ran on """satanic""" software, nor would they care.

Most people would not have a clue (which is kinda the point... For even christian tech people FreeBSD is not really anything particulary satanic other than it was made by homosexuals), but lots of people would care if done right.

>They would just keep using netflix because it does exactly what they need it to.

Yes, it would only matter if netflix had serious competition. As I said. A competitior could easily use this to get their customers and lots of people would be uneasy supporting 'satanic software'

>>57863866
It's like having a cartoon hitler as a logo. Not everyone is some crazy sjw.
Most people wouldn't have a clue about what the competitor was talking about if they said that netfilx ran on """nazi""" software, nor would they care. They would just keep using the company because it does exactly what they need it to.

But as anon said, that all changes if there is a serious alternative around.

Wow, 41 posts in and no one has given OP an accurate answer.

Here's the true reason, from a guy who was around when Linux came up: BSD was stirred up with legal troubles due to a lawsuit from AT&T, so everyone jumped onto the Linux bandwagon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_Laboratories,_Inc._v._Berkeley_Software_Design,_Inc.

because nobody uses BSD, it's as simple as that

>>57862988
Like Sony.

>>57864044
>Android libc
Don't be so proud. Bionic is needed because glibc isn't embedded friendly and g even wanted to be it more dumber than the openbsd one, sot they forked out a bunch of code. Now it's a totally different animal, fully dependent on the linux kernel, but you can make diffs if you are into it.

>>57864283
>Far from it.

Wow what a great retort. You sure showed him.

>>57864679
That's just an excuse.

>>57862874
Legal battle and FUD in the 90s and lack of critical mass since then. Coincidences also happen and BSD was lucky not to go the way of Xenix.

I run NetBSD and OpenBSD on my servers and routers, anything I don't need to try funny new things on. It's stable, predictable and boring. NetBSD is low effort and low maintenance. OpenBSD even more so.

pf is the best firewall and pkgsrc with pkgin would be my choice if the *nix world should for some reason ever standardise on a single package system. The separation between base system and third party packages makes the system feel more robust and NetBSD's init system is the most comfortable I've ever seen, apart from maybe SMF in Solaris. The source tree, and kernel structure are easier to understand than in Linux and new features like rump kernels and lua scripting in kernel are speeding up development considerably. Accounting for different architectures such as the big endian SPARC64 and old-timey VAX help uncover poorly written code and write robust implementatinos which don't make stupid assumptions about things, which is good for stability and security of programs.

>>57863210
You can't really do anything with just a kernel. Booting into a kernel with a dead userspace is as useless as getting POST and nothing on the system drive.

In NetBSD, for instance, every package is installed in the /usr/pkg subhierarchy, which on a proper production system would likely lie on its own disk or at least partition. If you manage to royally fuck up and destroy your entire system, rescuing in single user mode or booting a base system disk will let you operate a full opetrating system with all the usual tools to try and fix your system.

This is more of a historical issue since with linux you would of course rescue using something like a live system with a full distribution. Still, the BSDs' base systems are designed as one consistent package with the same design methods used across the board. Some people appreciate that. Myself, I see upsides both in the "base system" and the multiple packages for kernel and userland schools of thought.

>>57863714
NetBSD has a flag. It used to be daemons in Iwo Jima but now it's just a recognizable flag logo. OpenBSD has a pufferfish. Any devils in those systems are historical. Even the FreeBSD logo takes some imagination to recognize as a horned head anymore.

You keep making these threads because you don't get the answer you want, ignore it, wait a few hours, and then make it again.

where should I start?
-spent 10 years of its life arguing with companies over nomenclature. Can't even get the name right. 10 years in question was the "golden age" in the 90s, the most critical time.
-entire community is full of autists so pure it makes linux users look like social workers
-"design philosophy" is stuck in the 80s and even 70s and they just insist "you don't need that" towards every one of your needs even if one of them is "I want to watch a video"
-literally no software, drivers, for anything
-doesn't work except on a couple of laptops made after 2000 and 25 year old computers because "that's all you need"
-typical pro-bsd rant goes like "Well if you just throw out 99% of your needs than bsd can work for you I don't understand why you don't do that"
-runs no business apps or anything important
-license is shit and multiple companies like sony and apple have stolen it and they don't have to contribute back
-entire community won't recognize the web after 1995 and just call it "bad" as they jerk off for decades in IRC. the creationists of the internet.
-the few employed bsd users are never in the technology field. big red flag.
-only bsd communities exist when they can ban 99% of users and posts as they stay ignorant
-"holier than thou" at every conceivable turn
-professional dropout contrarians

should about cover it

>>57862874
I use Ubuntu on my laptop and Dragonfly BSD on my server. I would much rather switch to OpenIndiana if Microsoft screwed Linux somehow.

BSD has no drivers, that's the problem. I would be using OpenBSD if it worked on my machine. Until then, I will continue to use Slackware.

>>57866710
This is a good answer. FreeBSD is cool because the communities so small you could actually make realistic contributions because a lot of essential stuff isn't being maintained. Using OpenBSD for routers is such a good example of where these operating systems shine. You could stick FreeBSD on a computer that was just receiving data all day and needed to sort it in some minimal way with a C program. They shine in cases like this because their extremely slow and minimal development process has lead to them making the most correct decisions. Plus the community is way less bad than some people say on a personal level there are a lot of fun people involved in the projects but yeah they are serious when talking bsd if they weren't it wouldn't be such a serious project?

>Why do you use OpenBSD instead of GNU/Linux?
Because security.

>Why are the *BSD less popular?

Community is harsher. Difficult to get installed as well. For example, press "W" at a particular point in the OSD installer and get your disk wiped without any confirmation. Taking the use of OpenBSD's fdisk into account, I'd say it's harder to get installed than Gentoo.

The underlying system is not like GNU/Linux at all. You know how you can dd to /dev/sdb in GNU/Linux? Well, it's /dev/rsnd0c in bsd, and you have to learn why.

Oh, and to the person who made the comments on Satanic imagery, that only applies to FreeBSD. Each BSD has their own logo.

And Netflix runs OpenBSD, who's mascot is a pufferfish, I don't see how that could effect the religous....

>>57868883

Bullshit. They are welcoming if you are not a /g/ tier butthurt denial.

Every linux tui/cli installer have this "feature". BTW the default partitioning of openbsd is total bullshit and even Theo considered it as an issue.
>Taking the use of OpenBSD's fdisk into account, I'd say it's harder to get installed than Gentoo.
It's fucking automated. On gentoo you have to make a chroot, compile your own kernel and everything (if you are not a cuck).

>Well, it's /dev/rsnd0c in bsd
And wdc on other machine. No learning needed.

The BSD license is useful if you want a free software friendly project. Permissive to GPL is a one way street.

BSD is a proper server OS.
Linux is a toy, a useful one, but still a toy. You can tell this because it tries to be both a server and a desktop, that alone should tell you its not the best at either.

BSD for reliability, security, and performance.

You have to understand what bsdrones do to get their "security". Their entire philosophy is "chop fucking everything out". so if you were to do this with linux, you'd re-make bsd wherein you'd have 0 software or drivers, I'm even talking like any DE. I'm not joking around when I say that they honestly think chopping out nic drivers is a good idea because it eliminates internet traffic because muh security.

similar example was a thread we had yesterday where GO programming shits claimed their lang was better because they had a higher number for requests per second but had no frameworks. Yeah, you're totally going to get people to use this.

The saying goes, if you cut off a dog's legs, he'll never break them. that doesn't mean you've succeeded. The microsecond something goes wrong with bsd, they immediately blame "muh ports" or anyone who bothered to make a driver for bsd. this is why I keep calling bsd a holy religious text that cannot be changed.

hilariously enough one of the things that bsdlords "chop out" is their social lives and their own community vis a vis these messages which are essentially "fuck off" any time anyone wants any software or hardware made after 2000 to work. unfortunately they get jealous that linux succeeded and leave the irc circlejerk every once in a while to whine about it, which is why we have all bsd threads.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             :^)

>>57872305
One of the things that actually did work.
Among the legion of things broken.
BSD fuck sucks. Tell me I didn't really install it again, faggot.

I tried it because I was curious to see what a shit OS is like (based on /g/'s hate for it) and it was surprisingly pleasant. If it had better driver support, I'd use it full time. Feels a lot more organized and purposeful unlike linux

>>57864044
For sure it's OpenBSD + FreeBSD + NetBSD libc.

>>57868858
installing is very easy. its upgrading that is hard.

>>57869016
>Every linux tui/cli installer have this "feature". BTW the default partitioning of openbsd is total bullshit and even Theo considered it as an issue.
It should at least ask for a confirmation though.

As for the default partitioning scheme, the only problem I have with it is the sheer number of partitions it creates. It's apparently good for security though, that's understandable if you need to enable wxneeded only for /usr/local

>>57868818
only because we have gcc in the first place. if gcc never existed, there wouldn't be any free software movement, no foss compilers to begin with

>>57875887
BSD existed before GNU/GPL.

I read a mail by Theo de Raadt addressed to Stallman about this, unfortunately I can't find it anymore.

>>57875925
Stallman convinced him to open source BSD. It was closed to begin with.

>>57875943
>Stallman convinced Theo de Raadt to open source BSD
>when he didn't work on any BSD until about 1993
sure

>>57874928
BSD is good at making parodies (biggest one yet is Linux)

>>57862874

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/explaining-bsd/why-is-bsd-not-better-known.html

FreeBSD missed their moment. Also, Linux suffers from the Windows effect -- where everyone is already using it so its the safe choice. There is no killer app, to push bigger adoption of FreeBSD -- zfs could have been it but it works 'okish' on Linux now so . . .

About a decade back I switched from FreeBSD to Linux, just because at the time software/hardware support wasn't there -- FreeBSD was *just* getting the official nvidia drivers and SUN Java port. I miss FreeBSD, but there's no compelling reason to go back, other than nostalgia, at this point.

Which is harder to install: Gentoo or OpenBSD?

>>57875977
Gentoo.

Although it's not really hard, it's more tedious.

>>57875985
Do the BSD's have guided installers? Harder than Debian?

>>57876019
depends on what you mean by installers

they have freebsd, netbsd and dragonflybsd all have ncurses-based installers

openbsd has a completely text based one but you can pretty much just hit enter the whole time and it installs itself

>>57875957
Kekkity kek

I always want to try out BSD because it's a "real" Unix system and I want to feel like a big man System Admin real deal doing Important Work, but really I know it would be pointless.

I installed OpenBSD on my laptop once, but no drivers.

Might be okay on servers, but I'm not sure why I'd bother.

One day I'm going to build a dedicated hardware firewall and put BSD on it.

>>57863002
*than

>>57863816
This is so fucking stupid.

>>57862874
probably the lack of livebsds

>>57863770
I thought it did already. Is there anything we can do to prevent it from happening?

>>57863391
i wonder how viable a LFS install with pkgsrc is

in any case, the only way i'd use a linux distro is if it used a similar file system layout to OpenBSD (or any other really) and a BSD userland, maybe even their libc is possible

maybe i could try building a distro some day that does all this but i've never been able to get a comfortable setup for LFS

Basically cucked by its own license and supplanted by Linux and the GPL.

>>57876286
Thanks for the correction 20 hours later. Really useful reply.

>>57876320
You can run freebsd in live mode. When you boot up the media it gives you 3 choices and live mode is one of them. I don't know about the others but it probably offers something similar.

FreeBSD missed it's moment, the same as Hurd. Unix is Unix, FreeBSD is a fork of BSD 4.4.

Most would say it sucks because they try it after Linux, from which it is significantly different in userland, installation is easy, setup ie; getting a working DE can be more of a challenge if your mindset is Linux.

Oh, technically Beastie is a christian/catholic icon, think about it, who invented the Devil.

>>57876774
FreeBSD is very popular outside of normie user space. Just not in obvious view. PS4 is FreeBSD

>>57876826
>PS4 is FreeBSD
No it isn't, its based on FreeBSD but its a proprietary derivative that gives nothing back to the FreeBSD project.

The reason Linux instantly became more relevant is because it doesn't have a cuck license that lets people close shit up and ignore development.

Cuck license

>>57876927
this is so true and said imagine all the contributions to the community we would have had. also games for linux would have come out of this if they shared

>>57876927
you make no sense. You are pretty much saying that the reason bsd isn't popular is because when it actually is being used it is restricted.
You are completely ignoring the fact that it is actually being used by a lot of people. I don't know how popular the ps4 is, but I do know that netflix is extremely popular.

>>57877021
PS4 is popular, BSD isn't. They chose BSD because they can legally exploit your cuck licence

>>57876774
>who invented the Devil.
The Jews. Satan is an old creation going well back into the Old Testament, well before Christianity.

>>57876927
Except that Sony engineers did give patches and code back to FreeBSD

>>57877043
Thats the same thing as saying linux isn't popular android is, or darwin isn't popular mac os is.
It makes no sense because they are one and the same.

>>57877098
Nope, actually Google has android, chromeOS and fascia (Linux fork)

>>57870282
>You have to understand what bsdrones do to get their "security". Their entire philosophy is "chop fucking everything out"
More FUD.

FreeBSD is more secure because it's not written by fedora tipping overweight, smelly faggots like Linux

>>57876927
>proprietary derivative that gives nothing back to the FreeBSD project.
Not true, Sony posted quite a few patches.

>>57863816
What is Hulu or Amazon prime video? There are most certainly Netflix alternatives that are either equivalent or better

>>57877125
So..

How many months has it been since your portsnap mitm vulnerability has been discovered? 6 months? 7? LOL

>>57863816
Netflix uses Amazon S3 which runs on Linux.

Check your facts dumbass.

>>57877156
Sadly it's very true and very true of 99% of the proprietary forks people create.

If you look at BSD's development like a healthy root system, all of the proprietary forks are dead and provide no nourishment.

GNU on the other hand is the fucking world tree and encompasses everything.

>>57877635
Pretty sure I remember reading a story about how Netflix made proprietary patches to BSD and then realized they were fucked when time came to upgrade to a new BSD version.

I can't find an article about that specific story but here's a link about how Netflix contributes to BSD:
