Why isn't picrelated more popular on the desktop?
Tried it first time in a VM, installed XFCE and other desktop stuff, don't really see any issues, everything just works.
You have a choice between a normal package manager a-la apt and dnf, or you can compile from source using ports.
Even Apple uses BSD in their products, shame that they have gone to shit after Jobs' demise.
BSD License is true freedom unlike GPL socialism.
What is not to like here?

I tried in actual hardware, as much as I would love to dualboot Linux and FreeBSD, FreeBSD needs a lot more polishing.
Gavin Williams
BSD license is great in an ideal world.
What ends up happening is more people take then people give, and then you end up with a (((pro))) version that holds all the features and the original project is as good as dead.
Owen Clark
>imblyin that isn't happening with Red Hat and CentOS
Actually, GPL isn't even great in the real world, where a fat manchild has-been can take over your project because he likes it more than his own version and you optionally-linked yours to readline

I would rather get a better end product, fuck projects, compete or die.
I also would pay money for nice quality software that works. Fight me.

It is quite popular amongst IT professionals though. I know a lot of people who use TrueOS.
Ryder Morgan
Excuses are like assehole. Everybody have it.

-0 software
-0 drivers
-shit community attitude of "lol u dont need dat"
-neo luddites stuck in the 80s
-hipsters who were only into linux because they thought it made them different, they don't really care about technology
-keep repeating "real unix" and "elegance" to mean "I'm better than you"
-Quantum bullshit "recommendations" wherein they try to say it's great but this is just to actually talk to someone because they haven't really communicated with another person since the late 90s and on a daily basis they're on the verge of suicide
Nicholas Young
No one uses TrueOS, iXsystems shill. They use OpenBSD or FreeBSD.
Samuel Sanders
I'm on TrueOS right now mate
David Jones
BSD license is freedom to get cucked lmao
Luke Gomez
Ethical cucker.
Joshua Wilson
This user gets it... especially the part about the drivers.
Xavier Powell
>Why
cuck license

That's fine, but

Because is shit.
Isaiah Gray
good attempt buddy 4/10
William Moore
>disk performance
>application performance (chromium on freebsd sucks)
>shit hardware support (you cant dd 144 bytes on an usb because they can only write 512 bytes minimum for dx)
overall fbsd is shit
Robert Sullivan
Chrome sucks everywhere, senpaimalam.
Angel White
it sucks much less on linux though bb
Luis Kelly
Doesn't really matter, if you're a chromecuck we don't want you in our community anyway, so glad you chose to stay away from FreeBSD.
Julian Williams
>we dont want you in our community anyway
what community? i wouldn't let you guys say Hi to me IRL, I just use products lol
Kayden Garcia
>-hipsters who were only into linux because they thought it made them different, they don't really care about technology
Implying most Linux users give 1/100th of a shit about technology
Haven't you seen the linux world? Desktop Environments, Screenfetch, FREEDUMZ, Systemd.
Jeremiah Perry
Awesome, keep away.
Anthony Gutierrez
But ultimately, OpenBSD is the least shitty UNIX, and UNIX is pretty much a mess these days for a number of reasons.
But there is currently no alternative.
Joseph Adams
>Everything just werks
That certainly wasn't my experience.
Very little just werked.
Mason Sanders
>Even Apple uses BSD in their products
"Apple does something" is usually a sign of bad idea.
Anyway, since I found Slackware, there's no reason to move to BSD.

Could you post whether you're on a desktop or laptop as well as pros and cons of trueOS. I'm thinking of switching my Debian laptop to it.
Landon Barnes
GPL is freedom for humanity (in protection from copyright and IP or corporation control)
BSD is freedom for a individual (in personal ownership of property)
this is how people are able to take advantage of BSDs code without being sued
Caleb Stewart
the gpl belongs to the public worldwide
Levi Ramirez
kek
Jason Green
only problem i have with BSDs is that the ports never work, god forbid if you hack the makefiles too
i pretty much just use the binary packages
Brayden Roberts
Compiling stuff isn't hard.
Jayden Hughes
i do this with emacs
it's really that ports tend to break in the most fucked up, weird ways
for example in openbsd recently i was trying to install the most recent version of gcc i could, and the ftp connection for one of the dependencies would just freeze, it wouldn't even let me Ctrl-C out of it
Henry Thomas
I really want to like *BSD. I think OpenBSD really hit the mark as far as security and efficiency are concerned, and I use it on all my servers.
That said, I have not had success with FreeBSD or OpenBSD as a workstation. My main desktop rig was a non-starter for OpenBSD because it has no support for modern Nvidia GPUs at all. FreeBSD's nvidia driver worked great, but I had some weird issues with ports. I got it to recognize my HackRF, but neither GNU Radio nor gqrx would function at all. I wanted to avoid Pulseaudio and other Poettering-ware, but packages kept wanting to bring it and Avahi in, so I caved... except pavucontrol didn't work at all out of the box. So back to Linux, crawling I went.
I thought I could get away with OpenBSD on my laptop, but the speaker jack wouldn't work. Apparently a common problem with laptop audio, and suggestions from the mailing list (which involved toggling all varieties of mixerctl knobs) did not work. Its Xorg also didn't support splitting a single CRTC into two outputs at the time, not sure if it does now. So back to Linux, crawling I went.
Maybe someday.
