Not sure if that's true, i know many people who have TrueNAS, but no Linux installation on a Desktop/Server.
Also some PS3/4/5 owners and Netflix users, often people don't know they use FreeBSD or parts of it, but they know when they installed Linux.
It's also funny that Linus tech tips probably use more FreeBSD's (TrueNas and OPNsense) then Linux's ;)
- pjmlp 4y agoLicense wonders.
- nix23 4y agoGood license with a bad product is still bad, so there must be more the "just" the license. For example netflix, they could use linux without any problems (since they don't redistribute the code nor the appliances).
- pjmlp 4y agoBetter be safe than sorry. Plus they also ship devices with Netflix code on them.
- nix23 4y ago> Better be safe than sorry. You talk bs. >Plus they also ship devices with Netflix code on them. Are you talking about open-connect? They don't ship that to "End-users", and you can sell an appliances with GPL software and proprietary code on it..hello Android?? And please stop now, your arguments are like from a 12yo, and i know for a fact that your much much older, also sometimes wiser, i don't know why that is not available for you today.
- pjmlp 4y agoWhat BS? The amount of precious upstream changes that FreeBSD gets from all vendors shipping their code? Android is actually a good example, it is no accident that Google has been cleaning Android from GPL code, leaving only the kernel and since Android 8 only Project Treble drivers (out of kernel) are used. Fuchsia is even better, only Apache and MIT licenses.

You try to be a troll...it's kind of childish. >leaving only the kernel and since Android 8 only Ah yeah "only" the kernel of linux... >Fuchsia is even better, only Apache and MIT licenses. And BSD but true....license wonders ;)
- temac 4y agoWell, if you count like that people not necessarily know that they are using Linux either when: * They use Android (the article was about fs so its applicable) * They use an embedded routeur powered by Linux * Embedded stuff in their cars Etc...
