Generals are destroying Sup Forums. Please don't post generals, or content-free OPs.

Hello. which bsd supports the most drivers and hardware? I bought an IBM thinkpad t41 and none of my drivers work on openbsd and I can't even boot into freebsd

A lot of people are requesting that we talk more about BSD on this show...

installed freebsd with gnome as my desktop environment
the applications menu wont turn on. fuck!

Debian/kFreeBSD

You mean FreeBSD? Debian/kFreeBSD is nothing but GNU user land on top of FreeBSD kernel.

>Using GNU
>On BSD
Why the hell would you do that?

GNU/Linux*

*Linux

Cuck

linux is a kernel
by accepting that fact and claiming that it's more than a kernel, you're contradicting yourself

>Be OP
>Create BSD thread
>Still have faggots arguing over Linux or GNU/Linux shitting up his thread.

Never change Sup Forums.

Linux, unlike OpenBSD, isn't a complete operating system.

Linux is a colloquialism for operating systems that use the Linux kernel. You and I both know this and no matter how much you whine it's not going to change.

that doesn't make it not wrong and people who know better should not propagate the error

It's not wrong.

Give me 5 good reasons to use BSD over GNU/Linux.

>shitty hardware support unlike GNU/Linux
>a lot less software than GNU/Linux

If I was running a server, maybe I would use a BSD, but for desktop, no way.

I've never had a problem using FreeBSD as my desktop. Compiling software isn't hard.

Convince me why I should switch to bsd

No

not how it works
