Seeing Linux drama at this point is just entertainment.
The inferior technology stack pushed by big tech and defended by people who know better has been something else.
You'll take my software freedom from my cold dead hands.
I feel a lot of it is the way it is because in the pre-linux era, it was common to run GNU tools on commercial Unix, and so it absorbed many options, flags, syntaxes etc. from those various systems that it needed to be drop in replacements for. In the old school Unix wars of SysV vs BSD, it wound up with more of a SysV personality.
I currently like Debian, because of the stability and them removing unwanted features and integrating software with the OS. I mostly run a 10years+ laptop.
How so "inferior"? It's a proven techonology widely adopted by major linux distros that has been practical for everyone wanting to manage their system.
Give me your alternative of "superior" technology.
“Inferior technology stack”. Didn’t I just read a few days ago about pf queues just now breaking 4Gbps? Look me up, I’ve written a lot about high speed networking.
How are those containers working out for you? Have you heard about these things called VMs? Which I moved on from like 8 years ago?
Not to mention ole Theo likes to alienate you folks at every possible opportunity, even when it doesn’t matter to the core philosophy of openbsd.
I mean, you do you, but at least demonstrate an ounce of intellectual integrity about it.
FreeBSD has jails and Docker it's something laugable because with FBSD you just install the compatNx libraries and everything from version 4 and up will run as is.
And in any case you set a jail with these libraries and everything would run in a much secure way than docker defaults.
Seriously, can't even you see that Docker it's a problem written as a solution to another problem?
Kinda like NPM+Yarn+$package-package-manager of the day to solve the problems the whole ecosystem and the so-called solutions creates twice. Wake up.
I can see a case for systemd on a server, but have never seen the point on user-facing distro.
“vmm” is a toy compared to kvm/libvirt.
> I also have Debian 12 on a Mac Mini and while it's systemd, it could be OpenRC for all that I care about it.
I assume Intel? I haven’t paid attention to Linux on Macs in a long time. But I love Devuan for this reason.
I’m just stating that Linux being technologically inferior because of something-something corporate overlords is… silly
