      I kind of really dislike the notion that you only use Linux because you are too poor for Apple.

      I don’t use Apple because I don’t like to be stuck in a walled garden where a company decides what’s best for me.

      I know it’s just a meme, but I think too many people actually think Linux is somehow inferior to Apple (MacOS) while I think it’s the other way around.

      This is probably an old meme. I use Linux as a dedicated gaming OS, macOS for everything else except when Linux is already booted or nothing is and I want to do something quickly.

      Wrong. I’ve ran into a ton of issues recently with proton. Don’t act like it’s flawless. It needs a lot of work.

        most of us that gave up windows did so because it had tons of issues. Don’t act like windows is flawless, MS stopped putting in work.

    I’m actually curious what BSD provides in comparison to Linux. What does it add, do better, or worse?

    The only thing I know is that they introduced some stuff way before linux did, but that’s simply due to the age. BSD jails for example have been around for a long time. Buy beyond that, it was never apparent to me why linux took off and BSD didn’t.

      Bsd is a complete package and tested as such. All the software and everything. It’s like windows, when it’s released you install it and you get wordpad, edge, calculator etc. Bsd is the same that way. Linux is just a kernel, with the distributions bolting on the gnu software. I know it sounds kinda the same but it’s not.

      Also the license. With Linux I think you need to cite it’s use and you can’t charge for something build with it (of course there’s exceptions, like packages you create do not need to be for example), but bsd license is the most permissive. You can charge a customer for it and dress it up however you want.

      No systemd.

      There’s some other stuff too
