They shouldn’t have any specific Linux distro mentioned on their frontpage. It’s confusing and might imply they they prefer one over the other.
I’m also confused why they don’t allow non-Linux viable OS alternatives. Some may be better for some uses.
- pbronez 1y agoI guess it makes sense to leave the door open, but what OS do you think they should consider? the mainline options basically: Windows: status quo, dominant on desktop Linux: investing, dominant on servers MacOS: American, hates enterprises ChromeOS: American, limited, uses Linux kernel. The long tail alternative options include: FreeBSD/OpenBSD: ditches the Linux kernel but supports much of the Linux software ecosystem ReactOS: open source windows clone Haiku: beta, not targeting enterprises Redox: micro kernel OS written in rust, not ready for production Seems like the *BSD family is the most viable of these, at least in the short term. Redox could provide a second-mover advantage with fundamental security upgrades.
