Thread 106016026

I'm ready to try a BSD OS. Which one do I get? I need stability and support above all else. This won't be used for gaming but only for web browsing, and hobby coding with C and Python (either VScode, Vscodium, or Geany). And anything else I should know?

>>106016026 (OP)
If it's just for browsing the interwebz any of them should work

>>106016026 (OP)
They're of them are extremely stable, even GhostBSD.
But support is more often a mixed bag.
I'd try OpenBSD first because I think FreeBSD devs have stopped trying to test FreeBSD locally on their dev machines. Though FreeBSD I think does have more packages.

You should be ordering a noose so you're ready to kill yourself out of frustration from trying to use this unsupported FOSS garbage. Get a real OS pic related.

Op won't off himself. He's all talk, no action. If he wanted to try a BSD, he'd download one and install it and actually try it instead of making thread after thread about how "I'm going to do it, okaay? I'm really doing it! Do'nt try to stop me!" How do you think he'll go about suicide?

NetBSD is beyond based but it is like stepping back in time. Take pkgsrc their ports and package manager you will need to configure it by hand if you want to use it but on the plus side it is trivial to host a copy locally and deploy your own package server.
Open BSD is a bit easier, has great tbinkpad support, and is actually used by the devs.
Go with either but keep the documentation handy. You will basically have to roll your own system from scratch after you finish the install.

After you try OpenBSD, everything else feels like some neet hacked shit together between goon sessions.

>>106016318
He will post a thread about it

>>106016026 (OP)
definitely OpenBSD

are you speaking out of experience?

>>106016026 (OP)
You could try out NomadBSD on a live usb stick and see how you like BSD in general before switching from whatever you use now.

>>106016752
Yes.

because it is

>>106016827
based

>>106016026 (OP)
if you go for freebsd 14.3, beware there are issues with the binaries, you will have to use ports all depending

>>106016026 (OP)
>vscode
>vscodium
OpenBSD doesn't support electron

>>106016627
The installer will download pkgsrc.tar for you if you ask and extract it in /usr (wow that was hard) and then it's ready to use. That's only for ports you want to compile by hand anyway.
For binaries there is pkgin which is also available through the installer if you want it and it autoconfigures the repository and updates it for first boot. They update the NetBSD pkgin repositories to correlate witht the pkgsrc releases four times a year (Q1 2 Q3 and Q4).
Troll.

>>106016705
I used openbsd for just a little bit and it was actually my experience

The same happened when I used Plan 9, although it has some limitations. But for the task it can do, coming back to linux makes you feel like you lost one hand

>>106019614
Based.

brown hands typed this post

>>106016026 (OP)
OpenBSD or FreeBSD. GhostBSD if you got skill issue (FreeBSD with extra packages so it just werks)

>>106016318
I made a Bull Shit Distro thread yesterday and I'm not OP, so there's more than one of us curious to try it. I'm planning to download an ISO later and install it on bare metal. Also kys thx.

>>106023245
you literally listed nearly all of them.

freebsd is trash. openbsd is slow trash with no support for hardware or wireless technology or ssd

>>106023611
>there's two faggots who are all talk no action
I'd tell you to kys your self, but we all know that wouldn't work.

>>106016026 (OP)
Why do you want to torture yourself like that, nigger?

Jesus Christ wypipo are all fucking masochists.

So OpenBSD gaming. Who doesn't?

Best games on linux, ngl.

>>106019668
I dig the Plan9 concept myself, but it needs a good firewall if I'm even to attempt using it as a daily driver.

>>106016026 (OP)
Do you even own a server?

Software firewalls are for super gay babies.
