Nintendo Switch uses FreeBSD

The Nintendo Switch is confirmed to be running FreeBSD as it's OS, this is the third console to run FreeBSD as it's main
>PS4 ran off FreeBSD
>Vita ran off of parts of NetBSD and ran off the FreeBSD kernel

UNIX wins again.

>>Sup Forums

Allow me to interject for a moment, what you're referring to as "UNIX" is actually UNIX-like. More precisely, since there isn't a UNIX-like kernel (or a UNIX kernel for that matter), what you meant to says was "FreeBSD wins again".

Freebsd is not Unix.... Lol

PS3 was probably based on FreeBSD too, included parts from FreeBSD and NetBSD.

closer to unix than linux

>UNIX wins again.
corporations win again. ftfy.

this is why gpl is so important and why bsd licensing is just asking for it.

So when is the dev kit for one of these systems going to be leaked so we can reverse engineer it and release a BSD for PCs that can play hacked versions of the games for these systems?

wasn't ps3 also freebsd?

>I have no idea what I'm talking about: The Post

>I have no argument so I ad hom: the post

Nobody cares about the fu*k*ng OS

The question is...

have Webkit browser???

inb4: TotallyNotPiracy

Who fucking cares.

It has no browser as of yet

I care

PS3 used FreeBSD too

>I think the closeness to Unix's original philosophies should be used as a standard to compare operating systems by.

Also, who gives a shit? Go back to so you can circlejerk with your gaymur friends.

>no tegra x2

Call me for the switch pro tbqh

Excuse me for being unaware but is the Switch x86?

If it is wouldn't that mean it'd be stupid easy to emulate under a BSD dual boot?

>nvidia
>x86 licensee

Well you're a faggot so you don't matter.

it's ARMv8 (64 bits)

based BSD

you seem frustrated

>Vita
>BSD

>this is why gpl is so important
>so no one uses your commie software
I see, you want to release shit as free but you don't want people to actually use it. Make total sense u commie faggot

you seem mentally retarded

b-but I want my virus-like license to infect all of the goyim and bring down the capitali-

I mean s-software f-freedom is important...

Can i run lumina DE on it?

Kek, just because it has the freebsd license written in doesn't mean it's actually freebsd.
All sony systems from the psp had it. Only one was actually freebsd.

both PS3 and PS4

although speculation of ps2, psp, and vita
hmmm

>PS2
No OS
>PSP
Custom
>Vita
Custom
>PS3
Also custom. There's also the hypervisor.

>Free BSD Kernel
I don't know how u interpret "Free BSD Kernel" faggot but for me that leaves clear that it uses freebsd's kernel, can't say about the userland though
also, we are talking about the nintendo switch here, sony was only mentioned

>No OS
Then wtf is that thing when you boot it up without a game

>companies write custom operating systems instead of borrowing code
lmao

also why does the ps3 use the UFS2 file system?

>No OS

but only windows runs games???????????

>I still have no argument so I will tell him to go to Sup Forums.

>Disregards argument and skips to banter about going to Sup Forums
Cute.

COMMIE Sup Forums FAGGOTS ON SUICIDE WATCH

firmware

It's just a simple menu.

>Custom OS
All nintendo system uses custom OS (if it had one)

Portions of it. Like maybe the networking.

BSD doesn't exist retards, it died decades ago. We are talking about FreeBSD here, which belongs to a family that spawned from BSD. Now stop being autistic and never post again in these threads.

PS2 ran Redhat Linux modified

good, time to scour old CVEs and see what works

Hey I'm an anarchist and I believe the best license is no license, public domain is the true redpill, FreeBSD is a superior OS to Linux (no i'm not a capitalist, i'm an ancom)

freetards are control freaks

the best redpill is no software license desu

Not the stock OS

>violating the NAP

the NAP is a spook
read mikhail balunin's works, read marx, read any real critique on capitalism, capitalism is a bad system and anarchist communism is the only form of freedom, also I know ancaps that have turned into literal fascists and it happens to a lot of them

FreeBSD is actually Unix.

>All nintendo system uses custom OS (if it had one)
custom OS based off freebsd...

It may be Unix but is factually not UNIX.

You mean UNIX™.

fuck off poofter. capitalism is the only non-coercive system.

communism is coercion. coercion is slavery.

>marx
You mean the guy who exploited the working class his whole life, and never worked?
The guy who raped his slave tier made denied having her child?
The guy who real socialists hated?
The guy who never stepped inside a factory?
I'm sure he knows so much about capitalism.
>anarcho-communists exist in 2017

UNIX™ is implied by UNIX.

slave tier maid*

you right but kind of short of *nix like threads lately

why doesn't Sup Forums have a variant of FreeBSD for us power users?! :)

it seems you have never ever read a single book on communism and you can't even define communism correctly, the free market needs a government to uphold it's very existance, even John Adams in the book The Wealth of Nations had said this in his book and any austrian economic book has stated you need a government to uphold the system, so to state that the free market system is not coercive is simply to spread lies. Communism is by definition a stateless, classless society with no private property except for personal property, or as marx had described it as bourgeois property. Not everybody wants to live a money based system where there is so much inequality and there are the exploited and exploiters, the rich and poor, life is too short for all of that nonsense, we need to unite and work together insuring everyone works, gets enough food, has equal oppertunity and isn't oppressed, if you are even more interested in this idea please check out Ukranian anarchism which existed without coercion and had respect for both the collective and the individual, communism gets a bad rap because of that retard Stalin (who isn't a communist but rather an authoritarian state socialist quasi cult like figure) please I encourage you to read books on the free market and anarchism and communism, please branch out and see what the movement is before spreading blatant lies

it was open bsd

We do.

The only thing I disagree with in Marx's ideology is that the dictatorship of the proletariat is unneccesary and shouldn't happen, go straight to smashing the state and living peacefully without the evils of inequality and money

>I know fuck all

Communism is literally stealing the means of production

seems pretty obvious from their statement

BSD license >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GPL

Yet more proof it's a hobby OS not a serious work environment.

Back your claims.

property is theft
the means of production in the hand of a private company for profit alone is exploitation and unjust, thus taking the means of production will benefit humanity for all of us. Please read proudhon, good stuff

>Then wtf is that thing when you boot it up without a game
The ps2 bios

Source for this information?

>use an OS to make billions of dollars
>its just a hobby OS lmao

>use an OS to rice your desktop in your parent's basement
>THIS OS IS FOR A SERIOUS WORK ENVIRONMENT

never change Sup Forums

>goes on autistic rant
>stop being autistic
?????

move over gentoo
install FreeBSD

So will nintendo contribute back to freebsd?

Video games aren't Sup Forums related. Shut the fuck up.

>meanwhile xbox is stuck with Microsoft windows

>xbox power level remains low

BSD THE POWER TO GO EVEN FUTHER BEYOND

No, barely any corporation does. Fault of the cuck license. At best they'll throw money at a project when there's some huge bug like heartbleed.

It's not a fault, it's how things should be. BSD licensed software is like releasing it for the world to use and all you ask in return is mere credit. Anything more is definitely appreciated but certainly not required. True freedom.

>expecting intelligence from Sup Forums

THANK YOU BASED NINTENDO

Yeah like the cavemen did! Dying at 29 when your knee gives out while fighting a group of 17 year olds with sharp sticks is the most free thing I can imagine.

you mean AT&T UNIX™

I need a quick rundown on BSD and UNIX. If they are so good that consoles can run games, why the fuck can't they run PC games?

Why does BSD and Linux suck ass on PC platform and yet consoles it is delivering 1080p 60fps.

Any variety of BSD is only forbidden to use the name UNIX because of copyrights. The code does not actually differ from true unix. To all intents and purposes BSD is BSD UNIX. The dispute over the name to the extent that it must call itself UNIX-like is simply because AT&T and Novell refused to grant a licence to FreeBSD due to its use of GPL and Open source software licensing
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution

It's more that it is a super stable operating system that has little inherent overhead.

You can't run PC games on it because they aren't made for it. That's all.

Why would anyone realistically care beyond minor curiosity?

It's still nonfree and the BSD licence is still a cuck one.

These operating systems are getting customized for their hardware. Nintendo and Sony develop their own graphics subsystems instead of using X.Org and existing NV/AMD drivers.

I'm buying one right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

>anarchism
>communism
nice oxymoron

Who cares? I work for an ERP developing company and we steal MIT code all the time and develop it for years without releasing the source back and make tons of money off it.

GPL prevents against this so we stay away from it. I've seen companies get sued badly for stealing GPL code

nice to know it will get hacked easier than ever

>ERP developing company

I can't back it, but I've heard that memory management in Unix is inherently less suitable for games than the one in Windows and consoles likely change a lot of that just like they have their own graphics systems.

Nintendo has released code that lets you add a browser to your game (Like Total War: Shogun 2 has), but there's no standalone browser as of yet.

Wait and see.

> Companies get sued over breaking the licensing terms

That's a good thing.

>asking for it
Asking for what, that someone uses your software? Is there something inherently wrong with Nintendo using FreeBSD? I mean, granted the Switch is proprietary and locked down as fuck, but that doesn't impact ordinary FreeBSD users.

What's the point of them using it when you get no benefit from it?

If it was gpl we'd all benefit.

>public domain is the true redpill
True, only fags are afraid of their precious code being closed by some corporation.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

P.S. Stallman is a subversive kike.
