Dragonfly was certainly my favorite BSD, but not enough for me to leave Linux and OpenSUSE.

  supports only x86 so deal breaker

    Just to clarify, you mean there's no (official) build for ARM/MIPS/etc, right? DragonflyBSD itself is officially supported on x86_64.
  • jrs95 9y ago
    The only good reason I can think of to support something other than x86_64 is running on something like a raspberry pi or some sort of 'embedded' device. That's not really suited to the goals of Dragonfly anyways, NetBSD or Linux are a much better fit there.

    Well yes because Dfly has really small community compared to even FreeBSD .. supporting/testing multiple architectures is a monumental task for distro maintainers.

  I'd use Plan 9, if I could. And yes, Linux is the closest thing right now.

    In regards to Plan9 I prefer Inferno, given it is its last iteration, specially with Limbo instead of Alef that was dropped on Plan 9.
    • nejenendn 9y ago
      The language is a barrier there. Maybe if we could use go!
      • pjmlp 9y ago
        C is still there on Inferno, if that is what you mean.

    "I'd use Plan 9, if I could. And yes, Linux is the closest thing right now." What about GNU Hurd?
