  • Why would they?

  • It wasn’t the timing. People love to hate systemd for the dumbest reasons.

  • Carnism <--> Fascism. It's blatant and overwhelming from a veg perspective.

    From my perspective, good luck trying to defeat actual fascists while putting regular folks in the enemy bucket. You have very few allies, don’t throw them under the bus.

  • Why do American kids rely on the school cafeteria than bringing their own food?

    Jump

  • As a parent, it all boils down to time and money. Some families cannot afford to send their kids with home made food or just don’t have the time to make it.

    And to confirm your suspicion, most food in American public schools is absolutely disgusting. I made the mistake of having lunch with my kids once there. Never again.

  • Mine don't.

    Sorry, me and most people haven’t ever heard of your SaaS platform.

    Source?

    Compared to Windows, Linux is more of a niche OS for hobbyists. (My everyday device is a desktop, not a router.)

    Then by any means, use Windows.

    Your point is what exactly? Operating systems need a certain market share to be good? Lol. Seriously, just lol.

    Never made that point. What I said is that NetBSD is a niche OS for hobbyists, and that if I wanted to run Linux software, instead of relying on emulation, I would rather just use Linux.

    Enjoy your 3% niche OS.

    Did I hit a nerve here?

    Anyway, funny that you would want to make that point when you yourself use NetBSD. You and the other five people running it on a desktop computer must be having a lot of fun I suppose.

  • OpenBSD hasn’t been able to run on 386 and 486 for some years now.

  • Don’t be ridiculous.

    Virtually every SaaS platform runs on Linux. Half of the embedded devices out there run on Linux. 70% of cellphones run on Linux. Essentially, there is no way you would be online without interacting with a Linux-based OS in one way or another.

    Even compared to FreeBSD, NetBSD is more of a niche OS for hobbyists.

  • I’m sorry, I thought we were comparing BSD to Linux. And why would I use BSD if there isn’t a single piece of software I need that isn’t available on Linux as well, but others, like Kubernetes, aren’t natively supported on BSD.

    Regardless, nobody cares about dropping 486 support. NetBSD is a novelty OS at best, and FreeBSD, the most popular BSD out there, doesn’t run on 486 since 2024. Nice attempt at trolling tho.

  • I just don’t want my hard disk wiped when I decide to try a piece of software.

    You aren't running any relatively recent software on a 486, period. Even if you did and it turned out to be a virus, the chances of it hitting a bug in the kernel are extremely low.

    This is just grasping at straws.

  • You can (compile and) run almost all Linux software on the BSDs.

    Cool. Is there any *BSD-only software I would want to run on Linux? No? Then, what's the point?

  • Pretty sure that FreeBSD doesn’t offer tier 1 support for Intel 32-bit systems anymore. OpenBSD certainly hasn’t been able to run on 486 for ages.

  • And they are very notoriously outdated in terms of software.

  • I know how it works. My point is that, if emulated software, be under a hypervisor or an ABI compatibility layer, is considered “supported”, then we could say that Windows applications are supported in Linux, but that’s not entirely true.

    More importantly, if I want to run Linux software, I would rather run it on Linux, e.g. Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Emulation support doesn’t imply full ABI or driver support.

    Otherwise, since Proton is supported for Linux but not BSD, Linux would still be ahead.

  • On the other hand, Linux runs more software than its competitors, and it’s not even close.

  • There are LTS versions outside of current.

    But more importantly, who runs anything remotely critical on a 486 these days? These machines choke to death on TLS handshakes.
