This whole "userland and kernel" thing sounds good, but in my BSD use, the trade-off is that most desktop app packages (and ports) get a whole lot less attention and are more buggy than those in Linux. I imagine it's not a pr

I needed to script something for a FreeBSD server, and I was doing the development in Linux. It would have been OK if I had used Ruby/Python/Perl, etc., but I decided to do it in Bash. I had to make quite a few fixes when I got th

Debian's Chromium package hasn't been updated since May. It's a bit of a problem.

Agree. The main issue with using rpi as a desktop is the slow disk i/o. M2 on the board is what RPi 5 needs.

This is a decent investment for coders. Good tools make all the difference.

I get what you are saying in 2), but anybody who wants to fork the code, let them have at it.

Your position is extremely reasonable and realistic. I commend you for stating it openly.

I bet 98% of the use cases for CentOS 8 can be more than adequately handled by CentOS Stream. And Rocky Linux (and probably a few other clones) are on the way.

I just installed yesterday. I tried an in-place upgrade from Buster, but that didn't work, so I did a new install. So far, so good. It's an interesting time to be running Bullseye because it includes GNOME 3.38, which is what you

Syncthing is solid. Maybe a little too geeky for most, but for tech-minded people it can really work. I've had little issues here and there, but it definitely solves some problems for me. I generally use Dropbox for personal files and

The Chromium web browser in Debian Buster hasn't been updated in more than six months. That is a problem.

The idea of running BSD and it going well is one thing, but in practice you have to really want it. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are better (and easier) than ever, but you still give up a lot in comparison with the average Linux distribution, where

Mozilla is definitely NOT equal to your average open-source project like Debian or LibreOffice. The development on those projects is done entirely by volunteers. Maybe some of those "volunteers" are paid by companies to be contrib
