A garbage to run ads again. Everyone already knows the myths and they don't need the same post to pop up every year.

Every year I upgrade to something better and found the past distros very disgusting.
6/2021: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint (for ~15 minutes), Kali Linux
2022: Ubuntu, Lubuntu, RHEL, Fedora (for some days), Arch
2023: Artix (for some days), Gentoo, Alpine (Alpine is the best distro I've ever seen), switched to OpenBSD in the end of the year!
2024: OpenBSD. Have a machine running FreeBSD but currently unplugged and haven't learned anything from FreeBSD.
OpenBSD is so simple and I started reading man pages when I use it. I'm starting to learn tmux. Started to learn sed. Started writing some shell scripts. I can confirm I wasted time using all the distros above except Alpine. Except when I compile the linux kernel on Gentoo. I switched to OpenBSD without any problem. I quickly forgot the /dev/sda1 and learned disklabel. Not using vim without any problem, and I learned how to use vi efficiently.
OpenBSD is not too hard for any "newbies" that can read English. They can type "help" and it will open help(1). When they have read help(1) they will read afterboot(8). afterboot(8) is just comprehensive. It's a pity that package management is about the end of this man page, but package management is just simple: pkg_add and pkg_delete package-name. They may read pkg_add(1) and pkg_delete(1) when they want to upgrade.
Default X11 window manager is fvwm. xterm is launched when X is started. You can move windows with mouse. Minimized windows also appear on the grey screen. But you have to double click much. This is usable. cwm is also available when you want a wm that can be used with a keyboard. It is much more efficient.
2025: plan 9 ???
I really hope microsoft abandons windows in favour of its cloud apps for people who need it and lets Linux distros rule the desktop world
This only born more commercial distros and make macos and chromeos span even more.
Open source benefits when there are so many companies competing.
wiped clean?
It is windows users that pretend to be linux user.
They are root.
You should deal with problem yourself rather than asking like this. Or forget ping.
fucking anyone disliking, that guy doesn't even have knowledge what a hostname and a protocol is. They should learn it themselves. Don't need to ask.
For a reasonably stable but updated os I would recommend FreeBSD. You only have to install X yourself, and linux guides doesn't work. But reading manual page and searching on mailing lists can solve every issue. OpenBSD is easier but it is a bit "slow" in performance, packages are not updated (you have to follow -current, the latest development branch).
They both use hundreds megabytes of RAM just to render my static page. But for hydrogen web chromium use ~35M. This is shitty.
(w3m use 10M and in most case for searching we only need text-based browser)
Basically two teams (applied to anyone that are "speaking", e.g writing propaganda blogs, comments, etc; they don't necessary need to have all of this properties, and they may have both teams' properties):
Pro microsoft, pro systemd, pro bsod, pro administrator, pro "security" (privsec.dev pro microsoft edge), pro ms office, pro wine, anti apple/mac, anti (a)gpl, pro .net, pro powershell, .....
anti microsoft, anti windows culture, anti systemd, anti msedge, anti powershell & cmd, anti conio.h, anti bsd/mit/isc, anti company sponsorship ....
Team 3: BSD: receive donation from every entities and work on their clean operating system and software they give everyone for free without restriction; FreeBSD has been looked down by the anti-company anti-apple anti-permissive-licenses clowns
Expressed by Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD): "Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. We do what we do because we love Unix."
Join team 3!
And, you cannot make the world better by just destroy A company, Microsoft. You must destroy all of them, or don't destroy any, because it can only make the existing company to compete more fierce, and because OpenBSD needs donation from Google, Microsoft, and Meta to keep working on OpenSSH and other great software those companies need! They don't need clowns to look up nor look down them, like when those clown looks down FreeBSD because they received something from Apple that I cannot figure out what.
