carry on then posted:why do i get the feeling this is a containment thread it is, because nobody uses BSD at home anymore so there’s not gonna be much traffic. all my computers are laptops and Linux is just kind of okay on them, stuff like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and battery life and graphics are too much for me to worry about. I’ll probably use Linux until the day I die and I will forever be resentful of a world that chose wrong. Maximo Roboto posted:macOS is closer to BSD than it is to Linux with each new release it gets harder to say that. I felt like knowing freebsd made it easier to understand OS X in the mid 2000s, now I bet not really. mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Dec 4, 2021 |

I work at a place that only uses RHEL except we have one VM image used to convert one type of RHEL image into a 2nd type of RHEL image. For some reason this one image is BSD and I constantly have to troubleshoot it, and it's very annoying to me!!!!

i have a couple of BSD servers and it's nice using something that's not a total clown OS. the docs are good, things are generally easy to make sense of and configure, jails are easy, backups are easy, snapshots and rollbacks are easy...

Kazinsal posted:the GPL is a cancer I, too, love licenses that allow multi-billion dollar companies to come in, take a huge piece of software for their own purposes, make piles of money off of the work of others and contribute nothing in the way of code or money back. the freebsd foundation was in the red last year and this year are about $1 million short of their funding goal of $1250000. note that Sony and Netflix, two of their biggest users, haven't given them a dime. at some point not long ago, one of the lesser bsds (I forget if it was net or open) was so broke that they couldn't even afford to keep the lights on in their office

BSD people don't care about being the god emperor of their software that all derivatives bow down to. the purpose of releasing software under permissive licenses is so people can use it for its benefits to improve their own software. who gives a poo poo if it's Free (tm) or not. write correct software, release it so people can use it, and everyone else's software benefits if you had to GPL anything that included openssh or libressl or libcrypto or the freebsd kernel we'd be twenty years behind the present on literally every router, switch, and server on the planet

Sweevo posted:bsd is for people who stopped using linux because it got too popular That was literally why I started using NetBSD. That was 15+ years ago at this point, on x86. I kept it up as a desktop system until ~2016. I really liked that you could compile all your own packages with whatever compiler flags you wanted, and fairly easily do the same with your userland/kernel. I still think pkgsrc is kinda slick (and you can use it on other OSes if you're a glutton for punishment, I still have it running on an OS X 10.5 machine), but NetBSD's desktop video support was absolutely miserable. It was like trying to use Linux from 2004 in 2016, on a 2016 video card. I switched to Gentoo and never looked back. I also used NetBSD for a little while on some esoteric hardware - SPARCstations and DECstations and old PPC Macs and even a VAX or two, and I guess it was kinda cool that you could do that, but I decided that wasn't hardcore enough for me and switched to running basically all OSes from the original timeframe on my machines. For example I have machines running SunOS 4, Solaris 2.5, Solaris 8, Solaris 9... you get the picture. And I roll all of my own software by hand because I really don't like myself or other people.

GhostBSD is FreeBSD with mate and a nicer installer and all the focus being put on x86-64 and I think aarch64 so it’s probably going to be the friendliest of the BSDs

sb hermit posted:I haven't touched netbsd in awhile. Time to put it on a raspberry pi 3 and see how it fares as a local clock server. Installed NetBSD on a spare rpi3. It seems nice, except there's a lot of command line stuff that isn't quite the same as Raspbian. I haven't yet attempted compilation of any programs, which I expect to be real annoying. Now I just have to solder a real-time clock onto this baby and print a new case and see if the kernel will recognize the rtc chip on the i2c bus.
