BSD And Other Things

>>60117616
First for OpenBSD

yes yet another thread where shitposters reply to themselves for 2 days

I use Arch Linux™ because the logo is cool, the package manager is named after a video game character, and I can cheat in CS:GO with 0 programming knowledge. What does BSD offer?

So how closely integrated is TrueOS and MidnightBSD with FreeBSD? Because I have drivers that work with FreeBSD that don't work with the other two.

their kernels were probably compiled with different options

BSD SUCKS

Just switch to Linux already

So how does /bsd/ feel about Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, Gentoo FreeBSD, and T2 SDE? Has anyone tried any of them out? What exactly is the incentive for using one of these images vs popular BSD images like Dragonfly, Open, etc?

>>60119921
The shitposters have found it. Abandon thread.

>>60119935
all dead and pretty pointless imo, but it's nice to have the option

Sup lads.

>>60119667
Nope, that was the FreeBSD thread. Most of it devolved into license arguing.

>>60119881
TrueOS tracks FreeBSD -CURRENT. MidnightBSD is mostly a dead project as far as I know.

Old troll (or "satire") blog started by a butthurt Phoronix forum user. Contains little to no valid information and can be safely ignored.

>>60119935
Gentoo discontinued their OpenBSD kernel version. The "hybrid" distros that use a BSD kernel seem like interesting hobby projects, but I wouldn't run them on anything serious. Updates also lag behind upstream.

Why is BSD so bad?

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.

I had drinks with Theo on Tuesday ask me anything

>>60120705
what did you talk about

>>60120743

YYCIX that he runs, openbsd, pledge(), and some world financial news.

it was a pretty good time over all

>>60120792
oh, i thought he was actually living entirely on donations

>>60120874

yeah, I think he is, plus grants.
