- anthk 5y ago>Linux because it actually runs on everything. Good joke. Linux barely runs on some legacy arches, having to use really old kernels and making a lot of current software useless. NetBSD just /runs/ new releases on older hardware such as m68k machines with no crazy tweaks. >but the lack of GPL means less work on it is published. You realize a lot of the components on the graphics substack on Linux are non-GPL, right? Not just X, but the backends on the kernel. Also Linux is full of propietary drivers and blobs. Check Linux-Libre's changelog if you don't believe me.
