(this post obviously assumes the recent removal of russian devs due to sanctions is bad; no need to comment if you disagree)
a lot of people i know are considering jumping ship to some bsd after the recent MAINTAINERS debacle, but i’m skeptical it would make any difference. afaik, they’re just as us-centric as linux if not more (it’s the berkeley software distribution, after all). also, my biggest gripe about the bsds and the main reason i’ve never had any interest in them is their permissive licensing. permissive licenses suck
would there be any difference wrt sanctions in the bsds or moving away from linux to *bsd bc of that would be pointless?
You’re asking the wrong question. The question is, “why not test drive a BSD installation, regardless?”
i did test ghostbsd earlier today, actually. i liked it, it felt pretty solid. also, from reading the docs, freebsd gave me the impression of being a very solid system as well
but again, the permissive licensing puts me off, and i don’t see what it offers over e.g. debian that makes up for it
Open clan has better techno-mages
i don’t get it
