Root BSD do you care about the direction the GNU/Linux operating system is going in?

Not really, I'll just use BSD if it gets bad 😎

My only issue with going BSD would be that I use Trisquel and until Hyberbola is ported I don't know of any Libre focussed BSD flavor.

Linux vs OpenBSD pros and cons

Linux pros

- Vast amount of hardware support
- Very good performance
- Large amount of software works/compiles on Linux
- Windows binary compatibility via wine and it's forks.

Linux cons

- Not very stable, Linux is a patchwork quilt of 3rd party software and independent developers that are often trying to reinvent the wheel. There is a reason why distrohopping is a thing.
- Very complex, a lot of administration and tasks on Linux systems is very over engineered and over complicated.

OpenBSD pros

- Very secure, just as much as Linux, possibly more with smart usage. OpenBSD has a much leaner attack surface and uses aggressive security practices.

- Very elegant and simple design. Administration and tasks are easy and beginner friendly.

OpenBSD cons

- Less performant that Linux or FreeBSD. Tends to run a little hotter on the CPU
- Much smaller hardware support than Linux, FreeBSD or NetBSD
- Less software available in ports, no wine, wayland or obs-studio.
- Less customization options or knobs to fiddle than Linux or FreeBSD. Only one filesystem is supported, etc.

I removed the security jab about Linux, honestly I can't get a straight answer from the web and all articles are biased to a degree.

Scientists in the UK discovered what should have been common sense knowledge, that depression is not caused by a "chemical imbalance", its cause by external stress and negative life events. Antidepressents are basically a waste of money and probaby have more long term health deteriments than anything else.

To all you firmware conscience people out there, you can use a script from the LibertyBSD project and remove kernel binary blobs in the source tree and compile a libre kernel for and existing OpenBSD install. Then remove any firmware that fw_update install. Fully in line with Stallman, then you down the ports tree and remove all non-free software. LibertyBSD did this but they are no longer making ISO's so you have to do your own thing.

@nerdtronics "open firmware"? So proprietary firmware that's source available?

Install a Linux distro, never update it again. Nothing will break and it will work for years :alway_rember:

Best comment I've ever gotten. Take note kids. Going forward you will get a warning from me and then I will mute you, I don't have the patience for it anymore. I don't give a shit if you're Stallman's prodigy, show some netiquette, state your opinion and leave it at that.
