    BSD is so dead

    No evidence.

    Linux might won on quantity, but its quality is not comparable to BSDs.

    A typical example is OpenBSD, to quote Michael W. Lucas:

    Many open source operating system put a lot of effort into growing their user base, evangelizing, and bringing new people into the Unix fold. OpenBSD does not.

    The communities surrounding other operating systems actively encourage new users and try to make newbies feel welcome. OpenBSD specifically and deliberately does not.

    The developers know exactly who their target market is: themselves. If you can use their work, that’s great. If not, go away until you can.

    They will not hold your hand. They will not develop new features to please users. OpenBSD exist to meet the needs of the developers, and while others are welcome to ride along, the needs of the passengers do not steer the project.

    And it still live well?!@

    You should have backups. Not hedge against 1 in 10 million error conditions.

    if a partition isn’t actively written to, it’s less likely to suffer damage

    The second one is a huge bother in desktops. I never not regretted trying it.

    ok

    The third one is a complete non-problem.

    This is only a problem with OpenBSD. They never encourage using a huge single root partition, and never test it.

    It have an asterisk, not a -

    Why we have to care much about software usage. This is the current issue of linux communities, which decrease user qualities.

    Our enemy Microsoft and other “big tech” laugh people like these. They are using linux just like they use windows, even bring the bad, flawed windows culture to linux.

    Don’t let the enemy to laugh at us.

    it’s a Linux issue

    Not a linux’s issue, though. When they don’t have documentation, they can decide not to write a driver, and not to use proprietary drivers too.

    But nvidia doesn’t care about linux, doesn’t target linux. And current “linux communities” can’t do anything but whine.

    +1

    Telling people to just drop Nvidia is delusional

    We can tell people that is going to buy a new computer to avoid nvidia :)

    It’s Linux desktop contributers problem to fix.

    We can’t write drivers for platforms that we don’t have documentation. linux desktop contributors dropping support for nvidia entirely is not a bad decision, though

    Technically nVidia chose that fight, not Linux users.

    nVidia is chocked full of proprietary implementations meant to bog down competition, for example all CUDA technology including translation layers are technically illegal to even look at without nVidia proprietary drivers.

    This already described that Linux user started that fight, and they chose it.

    But they cannot do anything than using the proprietary drivers, screaming about moral, propagating GNUism.

    Crap is still insulting them though

    No one wants their software to be called a “crap”, so I will not puke out again.

    personally I think gnome is really good

    But many people doesn’t take “personally”. I wanted to write a post about this a few days ago but the op posted the meme.

    “Linux users” cared about what their desktop environment looks so much.

    This is my .cwmrc:

    bind-key 4-s “bin/scrshot”

    (EOF)
