Why do we hate *BSD again?

We don't, it's fucking awesome. I'm already using TrueOS as my daily driver.

i believe people use freebsd, openbsd, netbsd and even dragonflybsd as daily drivers

but i have a hard time believing anyone uses trueos

What is the recommended amout of dedicated ram to server?

multiple reasons

the only you are fooling is you

here's your (you) since you didn't get one for that other post that was also obviously yours

I'm pretty new to all of this so here's what I want to know:
what is "wrong" with BSD that people here avoid it?
what are the advantages/disadvantages compared to Linux?
if I'm coming from a Windows system, how lost will I be?

>what is "wrong" with BSD that people here avoid it?
look at the IP count and look at the number of posts
>what are the advantages/disadvantages compared to Linux?
i'm fucking sick of writing this out, to the point where i think anyone asking this is just baiting at this point

i like BSD because the documentation is good and the base system and third party stuff is well separated
>if I'm coming from a Windows system, how lost will I be?
just read the documentation and you'll probably be fine

>people here
there is some severely ill user who keeps posting in / creating "bsd a shit" threads for weeks.

>but i have a hard time believing anyone uses trueos
why?

BSD has no drivers!

Planning on moving from Debian Linux to OpenBSD on a Thinkpad t420 soon, what should I expect?

Jewgling brings up a few instances of this combination, anybody here do anything similar?
Will it be difficult to install my wifi-card software on OpenBSD? I've read that propietary software is not very much welcomed on the system

>no lsblk
jesus christ

I installed OpenBSD on a T430 a few weeks ago. Had to get wifi drivers via fw_update. No big deal.

does ath9k_htc works on freebsd?

Hello /G
i am starting using OpenBSD as a web server. It work very great.
But i am still aksing if OpenBSD can be a daily disto for a laptop?
like a debian or gentoo or arch
for surf mail and prog

for daily distro go use FreeBSD

what is the fundamental difference between Free and Open BSD ?

it was a pretty ugly looking, buggy piece of shit when i tried it 2 weeks ago

what are the advantages except simplicity?

What's Dragonfly like these days? I don't hear much about it, but its always sounded pretty promising. HAMMER 2 sounds like it could be a good alternative to ZFS, if they ever manage to get it finished.

I like both FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but prefer OpenBSD. It's the one I've used and messed around with the most. So my interest in Dragonfly is in how it compares to it, Moreso than FreeBSD.
