so few good explanations

What a lack of documentation. On BSDs we didn't suffer that.

I just want a tldr

BSD is an operating system. It diverged into FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

This is why there will never be a “year of the Linux desktop”

They dislike this comment just because of this. This statement is correct.

Linux kernel's code quality is not comparable to any BSD's kernel. GNU userland is not as clean as BSD's userland so Chimera Linux existed.

because it’s developers insist on doing everything “the hard way”

true, true

I'm so lucky that WINE and virtualbox is so hard on "newbie distros" that I would never use windows application on linux.

When I switch to BSD I always read man pages and find the docs to resolve my problems. Never did that on Linux.

In an ideal OS you never have to learn to do things the hard way because the easy way works just as well without starting a new career in Linux programming.

Do you think FreeBSD and OpenBSD already met this requirement :)?

That research is much easier than figuring out what is computer's "stack" without using my first language!

who cares how much money do you have, perhaps you have smt enabled?

Compared to Windows or MacOS, yes, it is very techy.

Distros that have so much graphics like ubuntu and their linux mint isn't (much) :)

there's a guy even claimed "Linux is almost identical to Windows". That guy is a "masturbing monkey" that cannot care about anything other than privacy.

but Linux simply is not for everyone

correct. I think Torvalds would agree.

Many people have no concept of a computer, offer them running linux is destroying their business and render them jobless

And these guys are so hilarious: switching to linux but want to use windows app with wine !

Switching to linux only to decorate the desktop and neofetch!

They want to switch but never want to learn what a kernel is.

Switching to linux and claim about "free", "open source" but they hide their proprietary games

I mean Chimera is using FreeBSD userland, and they expressed why GNU coreutils used by most distro have "problem". Since we are talking about BSD. (OpenBSD's userland is less in feature and it is cleaner)

(so that's bring an advantage in security lol)

While coreutils may seem lightweight enough to not cause any issues already, there are some specific reasons the system uses a BSD-derived userland. The primary one is probably that the code of the BSD versions is overall much cleaner and easier to read. There are no cursed components such as gnulib, the codebase is leaner, and more aligned with the project’s goals.

ubuntu -> kali -> lubuntu -> debian -> rhel -> arch -> gentoo + alpine -> alpine (-> openbsd + freebsd)

I consider things not in brackets 100/100 trashes (alpine is 1/2, gentoo is 3/4), in experience (because they don't help me to learn anything, I'd take openbsd on platform that X11 support is broken, for example Alpha, than anything not in brackets on amd64. Of course, that should be a personal machine for learning.)

I have no reason to take you seriously.

GG!

Need to whine more. Maybe I will end up listening to you? And no, you do seem to me like an idiot, because you are arguing one type of knowledge is superior to other. Almost feels like a 4chan script kiddie.

I don't need you to understand that switching to BSD give me more experience and end the privacy race, not end the privacy race by switching to BSD.

This is my experience.

If software is not licensed FOSS, it becomes legally unusable? Are you using trash like ChatGPT to generate these responses?

Re-read the bkav story.

I think you will have to purchase a winrar license even for your school (assume you are the principal).

Then whine more, cry more and deboonk me. You have yet not spoken one sentence that has meaning. Not on Reddit, not on Lemmy. Not one, and I do not expect one.

No, my mission is to remove the privacy trashes.

Big tech aren't much harmed by your "privacy friendly" alternative. But they are harmed when everyone is a kernel developer.

Linus was right. You people really have no clue and understand zilch about computing and security.

You are trying to bring the conversation out of the topic.

Told me to name their innovations and then said something unrelated to the topic.

You already made it clear that “privacy” is “inferior” to “computer science”, one of the stupidest things I have ever heard in my life

As I saw, privacy communities are same in that stupid thought

But it is people's opinion

so you simply hate privacy communities due to your own delusions, blame them, have nothing to do with them yet still probably want to interact with them for some reason that originates back to your delusions. Keep them to yourself.

the privacy communities are much harmful than the big tech

because they remove people's knowledge by instructing people to do privacy & security hardening which does not gain people knowledge.

You need to get more angry and burst a nerve, OR YOU CAN DO THIS… figure out what you want, stop obsessing over what others want, and if you really think you could bring a change, try it. You are writing a lot of weird things. And you lack maturity, no offense. I assume you are young.

Not many people who seek privacy these days are remotely even interested in attaining true privacy or anonymity, but merely circlejerking their choice of software, OS and phone brand on the internet. The understanding of privacy culture goes far deeper than the surface scratching you managed to do, let alone thinking you could resolve things for others. First resolve your inner conflict.

Much naive than a kid who haven't gone to high school.

I thought you have better education than me.

In “privacy” sense nobody cares about some Intel or Microsoft version of Linux or BSD. OpenBSD, NetBSD, most of them are similar enough, and they are not giving you security merely by using them. And I am not even going to get into the discussion of daily driver usability, because I daily Debian and have Windows debloated on dualboot.

They aren't giving me security. Never claimed.

They just teach me what is correct and superior, and that's my experience.

And they concentrate me on programming and computer science, not debloating or hardening !

Please do some serious data archival and preservation for atleast a decade to be eligible to talk on this topic.

Legally.

Unusable.

Yes, I teach, but I also address/teach the philosophy of open versus closed source software in Linux/Windows guide. F(L)OSS is not inherently an ideology or religion you seem to treat it like. It is simply a different way of licensing software code, and at a very basic level it bifurcates into a transparent (freedom) software development culture. Capitalists and advertisers abusing closed source methods to cloak malware/spyware does not make closed sourcing itself fundamentally evil. The intent of those horrible people (and 3 letter agencies) is what counts.

At the time I was mentioning the refusal to have microcode. (if I recall correctly you are the guy who advocate this)

You can whine as much as you want. I have shown everyone what I can do, and have done. Asked no money and formed no harassing cult around it, worked against it.

What you do is writing bullshit "You will not believe this, but Linux and Windows are almost identical today". If the setup is bloated (for guys who doesn't do programming), they are identical. (practical privacy, again?)

It is not doing anything noticeable for security. They just market (mostly) snake oil, and have a bunch of users shilling it from 4chan to reddit to Telegram. Rebranding AOSP features is not a feat by any means. I have talked about this before and I will not address it again.

Linux-hardened and hardened_malloc? hardened_malloc broke firefox.

I saw the clients are open source, but what about the server??

Anyways, if you put your data on others' hard drive, NOTHING will guarantee the data can be erased on demand.

But well, when the clients is open source, PGP-encrypted messages are mostly safe.

Why there are so much VPNs here

How can you think it is a good practice.

There are a lot of pretend experts these days

You and me too. We both recommend what is trending to us.

But I have got into OpenBSD, and you haven't.
