That was a weird article. Compares specific BSD install experiences (FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE, NetBSD 9.2, DragonFly BSD 6.2.1_REL and OpenBSD 7.1.) without explictly comparing them.
"One of the installers...", "One of the package installation tools...", "There's an installer which uses its own color scheme...", "One system said I could only have an 8 character username". ...and so on.
A lot of effort seemed to go into obfuscating which was which? What's the point of the article then?
She may as well have just said, "My other O/S install experiences have meant I can no longer tolerate the *BSD install experience after having given these particular ones a go".
- tedunangst 4y agoThere's more than enough detail for developers of each system to either fix the issue or say meh out of scope. But it's less useful for haters who just like to whine about systems they never actually use.
