are you asking these questions sincerely or is this just your passive-aggressive way of saying that netbsd is dead and nobody uses it? and why does everything have to be compared to linux? isn't the whole reason we developed free and open-source operating systems is to have lots of different choices and not just one universal corporate-controlled OS that everyone thinks of as the yardstick by which all other OSes are measured?
- user3939382 2mo agoPretty uncharitable reading of the comment which happens to be explicitly a violation of the rules of this forum. It’s natural to use the most popular item in a family as a yardstick.
- haberman 2mo agoIt was a sincere question and I found your comment quite off-putting. You're talking to someone who spent a month in college installing every free OS I could get my hands on (including the BSDs). I find alternate operating systems interesting, but haven't played with them much lately. I compare other free Unixes to Linux because I use Linux every day and it's what I know. It's interesting to think of hypothetical scenarios where an alternative to Linux might be more compelling to me for some reason (eg. is OpenBSD objectively more hardened than Linux? Is NetBSD objectively more portable? etc.)
