The kind that's been lying on the front lawn for a few days. It's easier to pick up.
No wait. I'm thinking of dog shit.

MacOSX

gentoo.

Personal opinion, personal preference.
I like OpenBSD, but I've only used it and FreeBSD. They're both better than every GNU/Linux distribution I've tried, though, so you'll be fine.

MacOS on desktop
iOS on phones
FreeBSD everywhere else.

It's the patricians setup.

Mac OS isn't Unix: Mac OS X is.
Mac OS means Mac OS 8, 9, etc.
>iOS on phones
What's it like having no apps?

What makes them better than GNU/Linux?

Recently a memo from apple referred to MacOSX as MacOS, the speculation is that they are going back to the MacOS name.

Good, because saying you've been on version 10 for like 15 years is dumb

Neither. There's nothing you can do on any *BSD variant that you can't do more efficiently and better on a Linux distro. BSD is mainly for people who have an interest in historical operating systems and how they work, because examining the code and how they work does give you some pretty neat information on how modern operating systems were made and all that.

But to use them for normal everyday use? You'd have to be masochistic or just wanna use it because you want to be different and BSD is more obscure than Linux.

9to5mac.com/2016/04/14/macos-name-change-apple/

yes

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as BSD is in fact BSD/nothing-werkz. Or as I have recently started to call it: BSD + Nothing-werkz.

the fact that nothing works

>nothing works
>reason I like BSD is because it always works when GNU/Linux doesn't
wew lad
I hope you enjoy stuff like disabling nouveau in fifty different files and having Xorg start up by default on each boot because you refuse to stop using GNU/Linux shit.

>the fact that nothing works
Are you saying nothing works on GNU/Linux or BSD?

Wait, you actually use it for just normal every day usage? How? That shit is archaic and offers none of the ease of Windows nor as much control as Linux. Why do you even bother? Superior OSes have already been made that improve on the problems within BSD, so why do you even still bother using it?

RMS came along and wrote the GPL, and ever since GNU+Linux has been leaving BSD further behind in the dust.

Manjaro.

The developers delay fixes to improve your computing experience

what do you do, browse the internet exclusively?
BSD + Nothing werkz has nothing that works.

OpenBSD

>Good, because saying you've been on version 10 for like 15 years is dumb
Good thing they never did that.

Browsing the internet is fine with BSD.
Just make sure you install a windows web browser running in GNU/wine.

It's been Mac OS X (10) since 2001

Mactoddlers don't understand major.minor.release version numbers.

Yes, OpenBSD is the OS I have had installed for the past few months, and I've only booted to Windows a couple times since then to deal with a camera I have.
>archaic
Provide details.
>not as much control
Provide details.
No, I study system administration, program, and do everything one could use a computer for.
>nothing works
Literally 0/10 b8 m8.

>nothing works
Epik meme user. The whole reason I started using OpenBSD is because Linux had no drivers for the pen and touch digitizers on my laptop. It's been a few years now and I've yet to have an issue.

Mac OS X is the name of the operating system, not the version number.

OS X is the brand name, the ten is just there for nostalgic reasons. The major version number is 11.

I installed OpenBSD in a VM, and the package manager segfaulted when I tried to install vim.

Deleted that shit immediately. TempleOS is literally more useful.

You guys are dumb. The OS name is Mac OS, the major version number is 10, the minor version is presently 11. Look on the Wikipedia page, it agrees with me

OS X 10.x.y
OS X is the name, the 10 is redundancy, the x is the major version number, the y is the minor version number.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X

na. mactoddlers are dumb. They can't even get versioning correct.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning#Apple

I doubt this ever happened, but why did you try to install vim anyway? It's already installed by default.

Then the wikipedia article was written by literal retards. The name was changed to OS X a few years ago and never does Apple ever call it "OS". It's "OS X", specifically meant to be written like that and nothing else. If that's too much for your autistic brain, then you are beyond help.

Not to mention the superior mg is also in the base system.

That's retarded, if you're product has 10 at the end of the name, and you version every number of your product with 10.*, then it's pretty clearly version 10.
Either you guys are retarded for not understanding, or Apple is retarded, potentially both

It's Mac OS, version 10, stylized as Mac OS X. If that's too much for your autistic brain, then you are beyond help

I guess the second link is better.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning#Apple_2

>wanting vim
Also, I've never had this problem on my machine. I use a physical machine, not a VM.
mg is for toddlers, both GNU/Linuxtoddlers and actual toddlers.
It's useful if you need to let someone else type something.

>links the OS X operating system

I was just making the point that all of you are wrong, the operating system is OS X.. not MAC OS X, not Mac OS... OS X.

arch

Apple's just using slightly irregular version numbering. I know it's probably difficult to wrap your tiny brain around, but if you try hard enough maybe you can figure it out.

I just expect widely used software to have some semblance of coherency, maybe I'm asking too much.

They didn't drop the Mac in MacOSX until 2012, I'm not going to cowtow to the whim of apple marketing

I'd like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as OS X is infact XNU/OS X or as I've been recently taken to calling it, XNU plus OS X

I'd like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as XNU + OS X is infact NSA/MS/OSX or as I've been recently taken to calling it, NSA + MS + OSX

did you

cp /etc/examples/pkg.conf /etc/

and pick a mirror? if you install over http this is auto-configured btw.

personally I've never seen a pkg_add segfault except when I Ctrl-C it, then a pkg_delete cleans up everything

this is over a span of years, in VMs and bare metal

Shouldn't there be a darwin in there too?

99% of all BSD web servers run FreeBSD.

I only asked because I want to put BSD into a WM. Then I will mainly just laugh how inferior it's to CentOS.

Then what is the purpose of OpenBSD, what's it used for?

Thats the OS playground for the group that makes the coolest shit like SSH, openBGP, openNTPD, and libressl.

It's supposed to be more secure, but it has no drivers and no support.

The install BSD meme leaves the victim with intense feelings of embarrasment, rage, and despair.

Neither. There's nothing you can do on any Linux Distro that you can't do more efficiently and better on Windows. Linux is mainly for people who have an interest in pretending to know how operating systems work.

But to use it for normal everyday use? You'd have to be masochistic or just wanna use it because you want to be different and Linux is more obscure than Windows.

sound familiar?

>no hardware == no viruses :D

>There's nothing you can do on any Linux Distro that you can't do more efficiently and better on Windows.
>this is what BSD cucks actually believe

general purpose

this. it's essentially a dev environment for secure C software

it has drivers and support. the free support is mailing lists, the paid support is M:Tier

In 50 years nobody will use Windows or some other Microsoft cancer. *nix on the other hand will live as long as mankind.

>In 50 years nobody will use Windows or some other Microsoft cancer.
I want to believe too senpai, but the lockin is too strong

There's nothing you can do on any BSD variant.
/fixed
(Nothing werks)

Darwin is the name of apple's open source OS which OS X is built upon with it's proprietary GUI

well maymay'd my friend :^)

I can only surmise the BSD shills on Sup Forums are paid by Apple as an attempt to indoctrinate future developers who's code they can pilfer with impunity.
Because BSD is absolutely worthless shit.

>on Sup Forums

They shill on Sup Forums? I'm surprised you found anything other than furry porn and roll threads.

or Sup Forums. Whatever. Is there much of a difference?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

your right BSD sucks this is anime bread now

I LOVE anime bread.

I LOVE you too anime bread

It has no proprietary graphics card drivers. It's fucking trash.

>tfw can only afford anime bread crusts

your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise senpai

so just don't use an nvidia card

>shit license that lets people take their software and give nothing back!
guess you never heard of a company called whatsapp?

whatsapp uses freebsd and they gave back to a tune of $1M. other companies do too but they are just discreet about it.

Do all BSDs develop their own BSD utils or are they frozen in time? Can you replace them with GNU utils?

premise: it has no drivers
conclusion: it's fucking trash

That's a pretty solid argument for a gay men computer.

There are no proprietary AMD drivers either so what's the difference? Open source drivers are always garbage.

nope merely poinging out that you are literally no different from the street shitting pajeets who endlessly shill windows in every linux thread on this board.

It`s pathetic in both cases really. The mere mention of someone using an operating system you don`t approve of sends you into an autistic fit of rage and into maximum shitposting. never mind that you don`t have any actual experiance using any BSD, you couldn`t give it a legitimate try. your mind is too closed to do anything but scream MY TEAM IS BETTER THAN YOUR TEAM!!!

just like your opinion.

I think the real reason is the 2 or 3 year head start they had in the 90s when BSD was getting sued.

faggot

traditional unix services mostly

>What makes them better than GNU/Linux?
BSD - focussed on a speciality,
OpenBSD - security
FreeBSD - server and storage
NetBSD - architecture availability

Linux - nothing really, its really all generic respins, infighting, faggot promoting and suffering from bipolarism as it has two guys leading the project that have conflicting views on what its called etc.

It's true. Don't cry around because OpenBSD is garbage for real word uses.

yes they are developed. this is what the "base system" refers to, everything else is "ports." openBSD in particular maintains a constant rolling code audit.

you can find most GNU programs in the ports tree.

openports.se and freshports.org for open and free, respectively

>GNU/Linux
>implementing
>implementation
freetards love talking about "implementations"

Wrong, it means the video card companies are trash for making closed-source hardware.

>OpenBSD is garbage for real word uses.
Does Linux have a spell checker yet?

Desktop and networking

dumb tripfag cancer

GPUs are always closed source you fag. Do you think they are just going to give away their R&D?

my mind rests assured when thinking lennart pottyring will vanilla Linux so much ready for MS to make an offer for it...

Yes. Capitalists don't deserve to live.

is that you bernie?

>human rights
>leLennin

a lot of the developers have real jobs anyway and work on it as a sort of professional hobby. there are a handful of core devs who presumably get something from the foundation, who in turn gets it from M$, Google, Facebook, HP, Yandex, etc.

Apple shares back the source code, but if you're any of the above companies, you probably just want to donate $10k and get the best portable networking software, rather than fuck with Apple's shitty OS X ports

what's the point of the GPL again? it doesn't force companies to pay for the software

>marxist
>leninist

you remind me of this guy

youtube.com/watch?v=hhHJ4zEKDZY

Bernie is a socialist. Only anarchism can defeat capitalism in an effective way.

anarchy is the ultimate form of capitalism

"There is a strong current within anarchism which does not consider that anarcho-capitalism can be considered a part of the anarchist movement due to the fact that anarchism has historically been an anti-capitalist movement and for definitional reasons which see anarchism incompatible with capitalist forms.[268][269][270][271][272][273]"
