Windows users be like : "YAY I REALLY PREFER WINDOWS OVER MACOS BECAUSE IT HAS ADS IN THE START MENU"

MacOS users be like : "YAY I prefer MacOS over Windows because it's beautiful and simple"

GNU/Linux users be like : "YAY I REALLY PREFER GNU+LINUX OVER ANYTHING BECAUSE IT LETS ME EDIT WHATEVER I WANT"

BSD users be like : ""

What does bsd bring to the table? Does Windows really have ads in start menu?

Windows users: https://open-shell.github.io/Open-S...

Have not seen ads in years.

Mac os. Beautiful. Content dismissed, next!

@retoor BSD was cool back in the day. Nice stable network stack and jails were dope.

Linux won the war with namespacing, containers, and zero copy packet buffers. IMO BSD doesn't offer anything Linux doesn't except for a more permissive licence.

@lungdart ah, that's it. Nice, thank you very much young man.

What? Windows users actually like the ads?

Also I don't even know what they are talking about. My start menu doesn't have ads...

@CoreFusionX for me on Win11 the ads show up when I open the start menu and then click into the search text field.

@Lensflare

Well, I don't use cancer 11, still 10, might have something to do.

When I type for search, I do get bing results, but that's it.

Funny to pretend windows are some sort of a imutable object and the start menu content can't be changed

@qwwerty

It does have news and stuff like that, but never ads. And even if it did you could still hosts the fuck off their ad servers.

People still say GNU+Linux...?

@lungdart bsd is still cool i use it on laptop

@CoreFusionX win11

@cprn i say it Linux/GNU

@AdamOnAir Why not Wayland+Linux, or KDE+Linux, or zsh+Linux…? Or, I don't know, VIM+Linux? As of today, I'm going to refer to any distribution as VIM+Linux — after all, it's the most important piece of software in there!

Seriously, though, I never understood the GNU association RMS wanted to force upon people. I agree that GNU deserves prising for being there when there weren't other options, but it was equally beneficial for both projects. Insisting on changing the name of Linux to GNU+Linux is like insisting on calling every game made on Windows a Microsoft game, because it might have been compiled with MSVC. There once was an era of GNU+Linux philosophy, and it was essential, but dependency doesn't imply ownership, regardless of how significant.

@cprn I'm installing debian atm, not with much success. The internet just doesn't work so far. It's an asus. Are they bad with linux? I'm donating older laptops to church and installing them. Charity shit. Church helped me a lot, only because I donated them a few years since I was 20. One of the best things I ever did.

@retoor the lady pure of heart — sometimes. 😆 Nah, Asus laptops are usually great with Linux, unless they're very recent (even then it's most often a minor hardware issue, like lack of bluetooth kernel module, or touchpad not scrolling on the edges, etc). All I can say is Google is your friend. 🤷‍♂️

@cprn yeah, I have to Google a bit but it wouldn't surprise me if a day would be lost based on previous experiences. Really to busy for that tbh. But I can deliver the laptops any time. The community always needs. It's massive. So, it's ok.

Edit: needs but it provides even more!
