There's *BSD though if people don't want linux cos of linus being whatever with llm's. I've tried FreeBSD I think last year or two and it was pretty alright

More people should try out those some more, but things tend to become shitty when it becomes popular so people might as well not..

Might try putting BSD on my homelab server;
Any suggestions on which BSD OS I should go for?

I'm thinking OpenBSD, but I'm not sure, since I'm not at all familiar with BSD.

👻 After years of Linux, I tried GhostBSD and found it incredibly stable - and nearly unbreakable // ZDNET

｢ There is one major difference between GhostBSD and FreeBSD: the default desktop environment. While FreeBSD defaults to KDE Plasma, GhostBSD opts for Mate. With GhostBSD going with a lighter-weight desktop environment, the OS feels considerably faster ｣

This book collects three essays I wrote in 2022 about the NetBSD operating system.

Downgraded my OpenBSD setup (both base and pkgs) back again... I wasn't able to update ungoogled_chromium in current anymore due to some unmet/looped dependencies, so I went back to the plain release with no hassle and everything works again.

My best regards to all the folks in the BSD communities out there and everyone actively working on the BSDs. Good job! All your work is very appreciated here on my end .🫶

one of the nice things i see in the #bsd community especially here at bsd cafe, is how the community is helpful and often puts aside their fundamental differences (ie politics, religion, etc) for the greater good of the ecosystem.

we have people from all walks of life getting along (mostly) whereas its been my experience other ecosystems focus a bit too much on coc and gating as opposed to the technology.

this is not a stance of superiority but an observation that keeps me at the cozy table sipping cofe.

choose different. choose bsd.

📰 Where Unix Runs Today — Vivian Voss

｢ The PS4's Orbis OS is derived from FreeBSD 9 (2013 vintage). The PS5's Orbis 2.0 is derived from FreeBSD 11.0 (__FreeBSD_version 1100122, for the curious). Sony publishes the modified FreeBSD kernel source on its open-source page, as the BSD licence permits and good citizenship encourages.

Over 200 million PlayStation units have shipped since the PS3 (which already carried BSD lineage in a different form) ｣

@peteorrall

You have to remember that in #BSD, the base OS isn't included in that count. So even X11 and all of its related programs aren't included there. The base system has like a dozen packages are so, but the packages are huge tarballs and they're not included in that count.

Sorry for the word-soup-y dictation text. 😄

⚠️ sys/kern/sysv_sem.c in OpenBSD through 7.9 has a use-after-free allowing local privilege escalation to root. This is a context switch use-after-free after tsleep in sys_semget().

｢ To use the word commercially, as a brand on a shipping product, a system must be certified against a written specification. That specification is the Single UNIX Specification (SUS), revised over the decades; the current edition, Issue 8, aligns with POSIX.1-2024. Products are certified against one of its brand levels: most against UNIX 03, a few against the newer and stricter UNIX V7 ｣

I've been running Linux since 1993 and to this day, I'm still learning. It's what I love so much about running Linux and FOSS. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be stuck running only a proprietary OS or apps.

I've also been running FreeBSD on and off for years, but that's about to change to running FreeBSD daily. Not replacing Linux, but running it along with Linux.

Sorry, just a simple appreciation post for FOSS, all the projects, and most importantly, all of the folks who devote their time to developing this wonderful software.
