The images do not display for me.

I prefer the X11 logo over Wayland’s personally.

I think FreeBSD has nix support. I think it would be immature though.

Defense of the fsfe and fsfla for sure though.

RSS for in $current_year such as subscribing to a youtube channel without being logged in/directly using the frontend.

I use RSS to subscribe to my favorite channels on invidious. https://invidious.io/

But I needed a Linux VM and somehow I couldn’t get the hypervisor to work with anything but BSD

Do you know about the linux-compat layer on FreeBSD? https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/linuxemu/

I also wish debian GNU/kfreeBSD was still a thing.

I just think a majority of people do not care about which OS they use, or even know what is an OS. The only way for GNU/Linux to become big is if companies start shipping it in computers instead of windows.

OSX also came from NextStep which came from the original BSD Unix. They used FreeBSD as well. OSX is also certified Unix starting from leopard. This year apple did not renew the certification, so later releases of macOS are not Unix, but Unix-like.

Linux is the second-most popular descendent of Unix, the first being OSX.

Linux is not really a descendant of Unix. It is a Unix clone, but its roots do not trace back to Unix.

NetBSD has a clear stance on no ai.

Yeah, I am worried that we are becoming too dependent on Linux(kernel) and systemd. I think it would be very hard to maintain a fork of Linux and systemd because their codebases are very large, and develop at a really fast pace (ai will make this even worse).

Of course these are my opinions, but I wonder if anyone shares them as well besides me.

From what I understand from the article is that public domain’s legality can be questioned (especially in germany), therefore they conclude that it is not opensource, similar to how releasing software with no license is not OSS. That is where licenses like in the article CC0 come in play and unlicense to help create legal public-domain-like software.

In templeOS case

TempleOS is 100% open source with all source present.

From https://github.com/cia-foundation/TempleOS/blob/archive/ReadMe.TXT

templeos is public domain, which is incompatible with open source

Where did you come up with that conclusion?

Public domain just means you waive your copyrights. Unlicense is a license that helps you get your piece of software into public domain and is OSI approved. I prefer public domain over permissive licenses because it is easier to release a gpl version of them over permissive licenses (public domain does not have any restrictions). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-domain_software

Yeah no problem. I originally thought macOS was based off FreeBSD, but someone in the forums corrected me and I did research to find he was right.

I believe the worst example of what could happen if you use a permissive license is MINIX. It runs the closed source spyware, Intel ME. This makes MINIX the most used OS in the world though.

as an example, the OS for Mac OS, the PS3, as well as the Nintendo Switches, are all just closed, proprietary versions of OpenBSD.

No, they are not. MacOS’s kernel, Darwin, uses some FreeBSD code. MacOS is not a closed version of openBSD. I think macOS mostly is derived from NeXTstep. The PlayStation OS is a closed fork of FreeBSD. Nintendo switch made its own OS using FreeBSD networking code.

Same, here, but I think also my thinkpad is not powerful enough for guix (Intel core duo).

Ubuntu is fine. When you get your PC, you can see for yourself and decide. If Ubuntu just works for you, stick with it, if it is a bad experience, try another GNU/Linux distro. Be aware though that the back end of the appstore in Ubuntu is proprietary/closed-source/nonfree/bad.

systemd vs sysv

There is no systemd vs sysv war. It is systemd suck or systemd fine.
