My own opinion, won't fit with post like this

Stop telling people it’s ‘tech-y’ or acting like you’re more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people

So lucky that OpenBSD never cared if anyone used the operating system or not

The operating system is for developers, to fit developers' need

That’s it, spread Linux to as many people as possible. The larger the marketshare, the better support we ALL get

the better support for single root partition... UNIX have a removable filesystem, you can use different partition for / and /usr and /usr/local and /var and /home but hardly any distro can offer that. They all use a single root partition for everything just like windows use a single C:. Spliting /home is just like spliting D:

quality is better than quantity... look at the current state of linux communities (and distros too!) make me switched to BSD

10 person knows how to code python or DOS' C (Turbo C, obsolete) might be better than 100 person that use linux like they would use windows (but think themselves smart)

And if everyone is going to use wine then you should use Windows instead. I think it is much more stable and secure to run windows apps natively

  1. copy down your windows product key

can't drop windows entirely? h-

Can you complain with them

(arch still use systemd)

and linux still not have base system software sandboxed (you can't enforce)

Currently it takes ~50 minutes to recompile the kernel

try make with -j

No it works. When on my windows 10 machine boots in < 15s. When off it takes a minute (HDD)

What feature?????

[–] scratchandgame@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I am too lazy to research it and still wondering.

The arch wiki wrote about linux-hardened. You can repeat what they say like a machine.

You cannot trust us doing researches for you.

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.

+1, but OpenBSD can enforce security (Linux have landlock, *san, ACL, MAC but cannot enforce them, while OpenBSD doesn't but can enforce pledge and unveil and even for some ports like chromium and firefox)

But see Chimera Linux.

FreeBSD's boot speed is just behind arch a little bit (on HDD).

But Windows 8 (with fast startup) on an core 2 duo machine with 1G of RAM boot faster than any debian, ubuntu. (the boot speed decrease when you upgrade hardware lol :) )

I don't think firefox nor chromium is related to linux

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.)

You can create either logical volume or physical partition, but make sure you have different partition for different mount point: /, /usr, /usr/local (keep small on linux), /var, /opt (if you use), /tmp (if you have little ram or don't want to use memory filesystem).

What do you mean by your comment.

I haven't said something about logical volumes vs physical partitions.
