    In puberty? Hannah Montana Linux.

    Kim Jong Un is god? Red Star OS. There's a Linux distro for everyone.

    Just because you're bad with money does not mean you can afford an Apple product.

    Just because you cant afford an apple product doesn't mean you won't buy one (on credit)

    This flowchart is wrong.

    If I follow this reasoning, I should be running windows. I am not running windows, Ergo, either it is incorrect or I am incorrect. And I refuse to believe I'm incorrect.

    That’s because this image is dated af.

    You can blame IBM for that...

    Fedora's still a good distro. I would always recommend it over Ubuntu and Debian for a home user with a bit of technical affinity.

    You can tell because it suggests Linux isn't for gamers but Valve has its own game console that runs on Linux. It'd be pretty stupid if a game console couldn't run games.

    [–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 20 points 11 months ago

    You can also tell just by how jpegged the image has become.

    I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I've been gaming on Linux for several years, I've really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.

    This one didn't age quite as poorly as some of the others. I have gotten to the point of generally preferring Linux gaming now though. Bsd is still a bit lacking for my general computing but opnsense on my router is one of those 'where has this been all my life?' things.

    Linux gaming is better than Windows imo. No tracking, random bsod, shit just either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you make it work.

    [–] kogasa@programming.dev 8 points 11 months ago (7 children)

    Eh? I don't get BSODs because my compositor simply crashes (requiring a system restart, as the compositor will crash again if restarted) or my graphics driver hangs. Can't remember the last time I bluescreened on Windows except for when I was testing an unstable RAM overclock.

    I won't say Linux gaming is better than Windows, but I will say it's good enough that I don't miss Windows at all even after a few years.

    Hoodie OS. Used by people who type one line into a terminal to bring down the government and say "I'm in" when they extract data from databases.

    I knew nothing about linux 2 years ago and started with installing Debian on my surface go 2. This explains why I couldn’t get the web cam to work to this day.

    It should be in the box with Debian instead of whatever that is.

    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.

    [–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    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

    [–] joonazan@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 11 months ago

    You don't need to cite, you need to provide source code. The point of GPL is to allow the user to inspect and modify the software. You can even sell it as long as you provide the modified source code under the same license.
