I'm still a fan of open source here. Never really used Fedora, but I was under the impression it's a fairly genuine hybrid community/corporate project and Red Hat is fairly decent about that. Of course IBM is going to IBM. I've liked Ubuntu for a long time, but after a decade or so, Canonical is pretty well trying my patience and has me playing more with straight Debian which is what, about 30 years old now?
The BSDs also seem quite staid - I'll probably be moving any firewalls I can to PFSense where possible after dealing with the lifecycle hassles that Cisco and Sonicwall have put me through now.
But I think the most important thing is to use open formats to store your data; you don't really own it if it's closed.
- gregjor 4y agoThose are all variants of tunic, which dates back to the ‘70s. The differences are more like climate controls in different cars than significantly different tools.
- hotpotamus 4y agoI'm aware of Unix, but there have been some developments and divergences since the 70's. MacOS could probably be called a Unix variant as well. And ChromeOS is a pretty different beast from Debian despite nominally both being Linux.
