Baby steps. Lets not rush it, else they might get scared and change their minds.
Its a big step for them to go from commercial to open source, lets keep it linux for now
- cogman10 1y agoSell me on why I should choose BSD over Linux. It seems like driver support for BSD has always been a bit sketchy. Is that still the case?
- MrArthegor 1y agoFor the drivers yes, but with lot of improvements from lasts years with funding in FreeBSD and recent driver in openBSD But apart from that, BSD have numerous advantages over Linux distributions : The system is designed/controlled by a one team, with better uniformity at the end, in contrast to Linux world where you have a assembly of multiple projects developed by multiple teams ZFS. It’s also available on Linux but in BSD (especially FreeBSD) it’s a first-class citizen The documentation is also better. The OpenBSD is outstanding, you can literally use only the doc without external source of knowledge for virtually anything. FreeBSD doc is also very good. The core utility is also very helpful. FreeBSD with Dtrace and jails, OpenBSD with pledge and unveil for example.
- senko 1y agoThese are all very good reasons if we’re talking about technical users setting up servers. For nontech users who need to run random desktop software, dtrace, jails, pledge, uveil and zfs are irrelevant. Ext4 and Chromium will do just fine, but the network printer and a random smart card reader support must be rock solid.
