Linux reaching 6% market share has rubbed me the wrong way. Is BSD usable in 2038 -13? Can you run Linux apps on it and does it also have Wine?

I feel bad for freeBSD desu. Partly, they kind of deserve being used and abused for sticking to their shitty licenses. FreeBSD actually did a lot of good work historically, the number 1 NAS platform worldwide is based on freeBSD. Apple started with forking their shit then close sourcing it, imagine seeing a big corpo make millions off of your work but you can't benefit from their closed source improvements.
I'm not saying gpl is perfect but is protected the linux kernel from being effectively stolen and dumped the devs to scrounge dumpsters for half eaten meals.
The bsd licenses are genuinely some of the stupidest fucking idea in existence and apple showed us how someone could basically rape anyone who uses it.

Not just Apple, Sony has been using it in all of their game consoles/handhelds since PS3.

You made me think of something, the Linux kernel has official Sony drivers for the Dualshock 4 and Dualsense, probably for Android support but it also benefits anyone running GNU/Linux. Are these the same drivers they use on Orbis OS? Did they also send them as a contribution to FreeBSD?

yeah
>>106012202
as much as I hate the bsd licenses, I actually kind of feel bad for the OS and devs.
The project has definitely proven successful yet unknown and unserviced.
Sad that sony uses it for their playstation when at the same time you'd have a hard time gaming in BSD itself.

Doesn't Docker just wrangle like 3 or 4 Linux features into one (With the Mac and Windows versions just running a Linux VM)? Do those features not exist in BSD? If they don't, why not just do the Mac/Windows approach?

Afaik the most similar equivalent is Jails https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/

I don't think doing an equivalent work will cut it if it's not compatible to the point I can docker run hello-world and have my custom app up and running and everything below docker is abstracted away.

It's UNIX done better, no reason to use Linux over BSD, both are equal in terms of their functionality compared to windows.

We had jails for 20 years before you container cancer came along. Docker has always been shit.

LOL yeah that's why you're not systemd+Rust+BDFL being sent to re-education camp.

Sorry, meant to say equal in terms of their lack of functionality.

Good you deserve being forced to co-exist with the normalfags. You fell for the GPL meme and the fat jew foot cheese eater. You fell for the shitty unix clone. If you were worth letting in you wouldn't need to me to spoonfeed you the answers to the questions in the OP.

The real cuckolds are Linux users. Watching your beloved kernel get raped and stolen from you right before you eyes. But somehow justifying that you're not as bad as some other fag that doesn't care about licensing at all with arguments like
>The nigger is only cumming on my girlfriend and not in her (yet)!
>Okay so the nigger cummed in my girlfriend! So what? You girlfriend let some other girl borrow her purse for the evening! Cuck!

I actually really like the cuck license meme. It keeps retards like you away. It's a stupidity test. Guess what: you failed.

iXsystems abandoned FreeBSD for Linux with Scale though. Core is abandonware, and has been forked into zVault.

The only open source player in the FreeBSD based appliance market that homelab users might be exposed to now is pf/opnsense for networking. Even then I wonder if that has legs long term. FreeBSD/OpenBSD pf implementations have diverged very hard and now linux has nftables which are a lot less dogshit than iptables. That being said the only good Linux based router in a box is VyOS and even then the firewall component is not the primary design goal.
