I don’t mean this with snark, but how much of a modern FreeBSD desktop stack is just Linux compatibility layers? If I don’t game can I at least have native Wi-Fi drivers on a laptop yet? Sorry for my ignorance.

When I was in my paranoia mode, after switching to freebsd, I started digging who funds it. You'd be surprised to know, that largest donors aren't Sony or Netflix, it's actually the ukrainian jew who created whatsapp. It's not perfectly obvious, because his name is never mentioned, so I had to dig through that fund name and where it donates to most. So the same fund that donates millions to freebsd also donates to some jewish organizations across the US. Make up your mind. I personally think FrerBSD isn't compromised, but rather jew-approved for being safe, in a way.

not impressed if it's not motherfucking OpenBSD

Depends on what you're doing, really.
The fact it does have those compatibility layers and they just work is precisely why it's a judicious choice over OpenBSD. I don't have to sacrifice anything to escape the malign influence of redhat and microsoft.

This is a feature, and an excellent one at that, not a problem.

I respect BSDfriends, and have used BSD on many a toaster (FreeBSD was superb on my T420), but you guys act like GNUfriends don't have Devuan, MX Linux, Slackware, Arch, and a load of other distros that are systemd-free by default, or can easily be made to be. GNUfriends and BSDfriends need to put their differences aside and unite against corporate shitware OSes.

slow. inflexible. inextensible. you're locked into a single vendor and their api, which isn't even domain-specific. if you're moving economy-of-scale type numbers, the only thing better than an fpga is turning one that you use a lot of into an asic. an outfit in hpc using gpus is either a whale carelessly operating on a thin margin or an amateur hour retard doomed to failure.

Go to the donors page of FreeBSD and see for yourself, it's not like this is a secret, just obscure. FreeBSD is funded by Jewish money.

You still need dbus (Redhat) and X11/Wayland (Redhat) for any desktop environment to work.
Other than that it's pretty good.

>>105596444
>you still need dbus
No you don't
>you need wayland
No you don't

Lying about a dependency doesn't make it a true dependency. You know what breaks without dbus
>libreaoffice
That's it. You know what it breaks? The file/view/etc menus. It still works fine if you know the keyboard shortcuts. Why would such a thing break without dbus? No fucking idea but they managed to do it somehow.

Everything else just spams errors you can safely ignore. The Firefox packages and a few others fake dbus to prevent that. But you can safely send them directly to /dev/null and not bother.

Same is true of systemd. Nothing really requires it. They just claim it does to spook people into running it or installing the shims. This stuff is just a virus. Dbus is like the most retarded thing I've ever seen. You can give yourself root by spamming some text in its general direction. logind is a massive security hole waiting to happen running as root. Systemd running as root AND PID1 is even worse. This is not well designed software.

>>105596490
I'm giving you that FreeBSD is the best we've got but you're still sacrificing compatibility and have to put up with some Redhat shenanigans. Yes you can technically run apps without dbus, but a lot of things will break like MPRIS.

>>105593471 (OP)
>FreeBSD
Lmao kid.

>>105596588
How am I sacrificing compatibility? It has Linux emulation layer. You can even use Linux drivers. The only "compatibility" I sacrifice is with shit no one should want anyway.
>MPRIS
Why do you even want this? You can control a media player with the standard POSIX tools. I run a Jellyfin server hosting content for my entire family and a bunch of friends on a *BSD box and they can interact with it fine through a variety of clients. Assuming I want to send video over the LAN/internet to another device I can simply use ffmpeg's suite of tools to do it over the network. Works fine. Zero overhead. No retarded assbackward dbus required. Note I'm not shitting on the concept of IPC all together. I'm okay with it. But there are far better options than the shitty unsecure one Read Hat shit out and tried to force upon everyone.

You guys just keep repeating the same stuff everyday like you NEED freedesktop/systemd/Red Hat bullshit to have a viable desktop system. When we were running desktops fine for decades before they came on the scene and we've always had much better tools. UNIX isn't the greatest thing ever but it certainly could do stuff like IPC fine without their hacky dbus shit. UNIX sockets exist for example. If you want the stuff that comes with systemd then there are much better tools like s6 which not only do a better job at emulating launchd/windows "services" it does it without shoving a bunch of exploit ridden code into PID1.

The fact is their propaganda and fear mongering about security and compatibility is horse shit and they know it. Which is why they attack people so hard that make distros that don't include it. Since it's very very easy to do. The only reason they aren't more popular is because they spread FUD and use everything in their power to silence people that go against them.

>>105593471 (OP)
systemd is good actually I love rebooting my pc 20 times to test if my service finally works right

>>105596681
Why can't you just take the W?
This should be very simple. In a majority of desktop environments DBUS is used for application IPC. The best example is MPRIS, when a media key is pressed like a pause button on your headset, it sends an MPRIS command to pause the currently playing media whether it's from your browser or music player.
FreeBSD is the best we've got and a great starting place but to truly be free there is a lot more work to do than forking X11 and using a nonstandard operating system.
Even on Trinity where we use DCOP instead of DBUS we still need to set up DBUS bindings for basic things like MPRIS or stopping the screensaver when you're in a game.

>>105596709
Wow you're right anon. Lucky for me it's possible to own more than one computer. So I can do my gaming on one dedicated for that task on FreeBSD and keep my dev work on an OpenBSD system. You know what's even more crazy? It's possible to have more than two computers. Which is why I have a couple of servers that I use to serve media files to all my other computers and a few computers stuffed away in arcade cabinets when I want to play fighting games and emulate stuff like 2hu spell bubble using proper arcade sticks.

You know what none of those systems are running? Linux.

>>105596734
>Why can't you just take the W?
Because I've lost nothing.
>This should be very simple. In a majority of desktop environments DBUS is used for application IPC. The best example is MPRIS, when a media key is pressed like a pause button on your headset, it sends an MPRIS
Yes this is very important. Not like I can't do the same thing using a keyboard, or IR adapter, or any usb device. I need to install a massive security exploit for the bluetooth headset I don't have anyway. It's so hard to simply plug-in my DT990s or speakers into the audio interface/amp and control my media player from anywhere in my home with any type of input device like a sane person. I even have this amazing piece of technology called mpd which serves media to any device anywhere in the world. I can even control it remotely from any device from anywhere in the world. It even works with multiple devices at the same time.

But what do I know. I'm not an expert like you that can't figure out how to properly configure a screensaver to not start when there is an input device active without using a massive security hole. I guess allowing any random application to give itself root is totally worth that trade off. I also love the ability to gain instant root by using a username starting with a number.

>>105596799
openbsd has and has had massive exploits, you tinfoil retard. Don’t worry though, no one is trying to get your MLP videos.

Well now you are losing because you want to die on this hill that you can have a functional desktop without conceding a little to Redhat related technology. This has nothing to do with FreeBSD anymore btw. And I'm not defending Redhat. We simply have more work to do for a fully independent desktop OS.
DBUS is just one example. From what I've seen from the FreeBSD forums, devs are hesitant to adopt XLibre because of the political messages. Unless I can install XLibre I still need to fallback on Redhat's X11. There's also the XDG standards that every desktop environment follows which includes things like the .desktop files and icons. I'm also curious how you run sound without pulseaudio or pipewire?

I was literally one of the first people to start speaking out against Redhat before Lunduke sperged out and /g/ was aware of the problem. From the beginning I've been saying we need a separate ecosystem removed from the existing standards, but still having compatibility layers.
It's like fighting the system in America. You have two options; sacrifice everything but your freedom to make a hippie commune or homestead, or work within it to gather power and influence and use that to support your comerades to someday have an enclave of like minded individuals.
If you really aren't running any Redhat software it's like doing the former. You may be "free" but you're a one man army with no power spending most of your time tinkering on bare necessities. That's great, but it's not enough for most people. Most people want a fully featured desktop environment with every edge case accounted for. Your collection of shell scripts and window manager isn't enough.
