   Sadly it seems that everything is based on linux beyond Android. Wish there were more choices kernel-wise.

   Why would it be weird to prefer a BSD kernel rather than linux one? I'm not too keen on contributing to linux monoculturization of IT anyway.

   What if I don't want linux? Not many options available in modern phones...

   Just a while ago installed NeXTSTEP on a HP 9000 712/60 for playing around with the original DoomEd. Runs great except for having not found PA-RISC DooM client binaries or sources for recompiling.

   Sadly there are no free releases of these old versions available. Not even sure it's legal to install from authentic media if the hardware is not real SUN hardware...

   We swapped most of our linux and vmware platforms to Triton and SmartOS and been loving it ever since. Obviously there's still need to run linux in bhyves due to some specific software (e.g. docker) but generally services are on either

   Definitely worth looking at BSDs. For servers they are a no-brainer (as is illumos) but GhostBSD is also quite nice desktop ready edition of FreeBSD with GUI installer and all. Been trialing it at $work for general desktop use instead of li

   A lot happier than with a linux phone. Would love to have an illumos phone too, but won't get my hopes up for that happening any time soon...

    There also appears to be a port of some sort for FreeBSD https://www.freshports.org/emulators/wine-proton/

    I'll never understand why there is not that many pro audio applications on FreeBSD. Its OSS seems to be lot simpler and nicer than all the n+1 systems I see in the linux world...

    What a fantastic idea! Should utilize something similar in teaching FreeBSD and illumos too.

    Indeed... VIMAGE and Crossbow are such great technologies for virtualizing container network stacks. Couldn't imagine life without them anymore.

    Very true. Run FreeBSD and OpenBSD on Thinkpads at home and work and life's a peach...
