distro hopping is a waste of time
not a thing on BSD.
Because there are only 4 worthwhile BSDs?
BSDs aren't different, they are entirely different Operative Systems.
They are all forks of each other or the original BSD.
They are about as similar as say Debian vs Alpine
No they are not. BSDs kernel code are different
>feels like
>feels like another distro, but more comfy
Feels. That's all it does.
>extremely stable
Not a lot to work, not a lot to break.
>I love using a hammer for screws!
Nice
>has gotten a lot better for desktop use
Not a desktop OS.
Linux software working on BSD isn't some great achievement.
>manpages are so good
Void linux (made by ex-BSD developers) solved this problem for linux.
>it's based
Pointless statement.
>inb4 cuck license
>inb4 apple 5$ pay

I don't hate BSD but there's just not a lot of sensible reasons to use it anon.
So OP, anything you have to say about my post ?
>Feels. That's all it does.
No, it's better than the others.
>Not a lot to work, not a lot to break.
Good
>Not a desktop OS.
It literally is. Has its own X build system, ships with several WMs, and is used as a desktop OS by its developers.
>it's better
Numbers or some proof behind this.
Empty statements are meaningless.
>Good
I'd recomend you to repend and use Void linux because it shares your approach while doing stuff in a modern and smat way.

>It literally is
Well i didn't know that. Not gonna bother checking but hopefully you aren't just trolling
>Empty statements are meaningless.
They're called opinions
>I'd recomend you to repend and use Void linux
no
So your superiority has no actuall underlying thought process and you're just a sad elitist.
Noted.
BSD gays will never recover from this.
My underlying thought process is that it feels better so it is better. If I can do the same shit but enjoy it more, it's a better OS.
Gentoo's philosophy is "Have fun while sitting in front of a computer"
You're a manchild and your reasoning is entirely dependant on
>me like, me better
>you no like, you bad
Am i wrong?
>inb4 yes
I need reasoning here anon.
>le manchild xDD
Ah yes, the ol' razzledazzle for when you don't have a real comeback. Just quit posting, bud
It's not a comeback.
This isn't a school insylt battle
I'm just saying you have the same type of attitude of gentoo users, and just like them you acomplish no significant work while using a computer.
>This isn't a school insylt battle
You sure are attempting to make it one
I'm pointing out flaws in your logic, and so do you.
We are coming to an agreement about something despite clashing world views.
This isn't an insult battle, this is an argument.
You've pointed out zero flaws. All you've managed to do is make hilarious assumptions and attempt to insult me based on my personal preferences
Has no GPU support, is incredibly slow by design, and cant trim ssds
>Secure OS
The WiFi password is stored in a plain text file readable by all users
>Has no GPU support
You mean no Nvidia support. Intel's always been find as were older AMD cards, and around a year ago they added the same amdgpu driver Linux has.
>is incredibly slow by design, and cant trim ssds
Oh no! Anyway
OS
Never said jack shit about security, nice try though.
>never said jack about security
>OpenBSD
lol ok
I didn't, their claims may differ
Oh look at you so clever
I'm debating what I claim to be pros, not what the OpenBSD devs claim
>The WiFi password is stored in a plain text file readable by all users
You are still going on about this? Are you clinically moronic? If you create the interface configuration file readable for all users, it will be. What do you expect? OpenBSDs daily security cronjob will correct those permissions automatically.
void is a fake and gay troon distro,why cope with a shit linux distro when you could use slackware
>gay troon distro
I can call any distro a troon distro.
Does that make a diffrence?
>you could use slackware
>picrel
>I can call any distro a troon distro.
you cant call slackware a troon distro sir its one guy
Most moronic post itt
>reasons stated: none
>Not a desktop OS.
Shut up Kenny, you Black!
Wait, are Void Linux manpages actually better than others from different Distros??
like a complete OS compared to linux
I still don't understand what this means
kys troon
Why use OpenBSD over FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD or Illumos?
As a desktop user who doesn't care about security that much
>As a desktop user who doesn't care about security that much
Why use BSD or Linux over R&AW/Windows?
Sorry, I use Windows
Because Arch just werks
HOLY SHIT GET THE FRICK OFF MY FRICKING SCREEN I SEE THIS POST EVERY 5 SECONDS JUST STOP ALREADY PLZ IM GONNA KEEP USING WINDOWS AND GNU/LINUX FOREVER KYS
it's too autistic for its own good. i don't hate openbsd but it's a lot of busy work just to get it on par with ubuntu, fedora, or opensuse in terms of functionality. mainstream linux distros are highly functional out of the box whereas *bsd and "expert" distros like arch, gentoo, or void make you set it up yourself in spite of there not being any real choice in how you set it up. archgays recognize this truth and fall back on the claim that the lack of automation is a "filter to keep noobs out" which is senseless. noobs using the same distro as you doesnt somehow diminish the functionality of your own system. when there's a strict setup guide to follow you have to wonder why setup isn't automated. i know people believe diy provides greater customization but that's not true 99% of the time. binary packages usually come with all options enabled and any tweaking results in minimal benefit over the "bloated" binary packages. the time taken to custom build a system is far greater than the literal milliseconds taken by "bloat" on any given day.
i use slackware because it provides solid functionality out of the box, is very stable, easy to configure to my needs, and has the easiest package manager of anything i've used for when i need to custom build something. packaging custom builds on slackware takes 2 minutes and with sbopkg you have access to a wide variety of additional software that integrates into the system just as well as deb or rpm packages. on my laptop i use fedora because it had the most recent stable release at the time. if ubuntu or opensuse had been more recent i would have used one of them.
>slackware
very good
>sbopkg
use sbotools its better
good news, the archgays finally swallowed their pride and realized that automation was a good thing actually
the latest isos come with a decent installer
It doesn't sound like you actually used Openbsd. What "busy work" do you need to do ?
>>it's based
this is said of all the most moronic shit nowadays so it makes me less inclined to even try, which i reckon is pretty based in itself.
Makes government agitprop “information operations specialists” absolutely lose their shit.
unemployment general
hey im employed part time and tried openbsd
ended up uninstalling it though because it gave me too much grief compared to loonix.
Just installed OpenBSD for home server use. Pretty simple to install and get xfce running. I'm using sslh as a switchboard for nginx and connecting to ssh via port 443 to bypass firewalls.
If you want an idiot proof OS for daily desktop use, use Ubuntu. Doesn't matter if you use Arch or whatever fancy distro, when you look at the source you'll find GNU/Linux is all just a bunch of shit that's been duct taped together.
>can't play minecraft
pkg_add minecraft
Lol Kenny has had IQfy fighting over BSD for days despite him telling you nerds not to. You CAN use OpenBSD on the desktop, but you'll never have as much functionality as Linux, you'll never have as much hardware or software support as Linux, or as much documentation for desktop work loads as Linux.
>b but Linux can only do all that because of messy code glued together, BSD code is much cleaner!
yeah that's what Desktop OS's look like, checkout the code for Windows or Mac, its an absolute trash heap, a server OS like OpenBSD should have clean secure code with limited functionality.
>but I use OpenBSD on the desktop therefore its a desktop OS!
And I can play Doom on my toaster, doesn't mean its a game console.
>Checkout the code for Windows or Mac
Except it's proprietary software and no source code is given for the latest release of Microsoft Windows or macOS.
>OpenBSD
>clean secure code
remember the time when those stupid trannies glued a bunch of random fields onto the end of the TSS, activating the IOPB, allowing user programs to access arbitrary memory? Pepperidge farm remembers.
is there any Chromebook (preferably with some arm cpu) cabable of running any bsd on bare metal?
I tried using it with my barebones dwm/dwmblocks/st setup, but I couldn't get Harfbuzz to compile. That's a dependency of libxft-bgra, which is required to display emojis in suckless software.
Compiling libxft-bgra from a third party source is no big deal, but harfbuzz was right there in the ports tree, and it just wouldn't compile. OpenBSD seems to be more like a sandbox for software purism than something that's supposed to get things working. I respect that, but it's also promising more than it can deliver. I don't want to find out the hard way how much else doesn't work.
Its an OS for researching security mitigations. Nobody says its for actual desktop use
The developers actually use it don't they?
Compared to freebsd where the devs all use macs
yes, the openbsd devs use it for the desktop
they didn't write a window manager to not use it
They didn't write a window manager
They didn't revive and rewrite a window manager to not use it
They didnt.
>no CoC
No Call of Cthulhu? That should be in the minus column.
You must be 18 to post here
i exclusively used desktop openbsd for a couple years, so its definitely possible. i eventually went back to linux because i was tired of outdated packages and forcing things to work with it
>Security first OS has outdated packages
Ironic
syspatch
It's a great firewall os/embedded device os.
Still prefer FreeBSD for my home server/rpi's though. I just prefer the "base system developed as a whole" approach
If you tell me you are using obsd I feel forced to believe that you are a virgin. Nothing wrong about that though
I don't but am still a virgin
