Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

I should probably expand on my point.

I don't want more people to use FreeBSD, I don't want a massive influx of tech illiterate users, or even moderately knowledgeable ones.
Certain software is not meant to be used by most people, it's elitist by design, like DWM, for example. Making fun of people who use lesser software is only natural.

Dangerously based. I fear said influx is exactly why they want to ship it with KDE as an optional out of the box DE with 15. Shamefur dispuray if I do say so myself. Have you tried to run the xlibre port by any chance? Looks like the boys are making good progress but I'm still a bit skeptical.

FreeBSD at least is not very based. Their people have been going to conferences and reeing about GamerGate and chuds who won't accept Codes of Conduct since like 2017:

Even then, they are a lot less receptive about politisperging on the (technical) forums. The handling of xlibre port development serves as proof, that thread has had entire pages worth of sperging trimmed to make way for proper technical discussion. That alone puts them a good few steps ahead of most other FOSS places of discussion. Software-side, FreeBSD is very nice once you get it set up. Still, I prefer OpenBSD. Would be using it exclusively if my machine didn't rely on NVIDIA drivers.

Wait a second... That ponytail, the stupid fucking potato head. That's Benno Rice.
In case you thought "tragedy" means "bad", no. Benno's tragedy is people not recognizing the greatness of systemdicks.

Sperging aside, he hasn't made a single commit to FreeBSD since 2018 and is currently a jobless bum. This particular dumpy looking crisis has been averted.

Why KDE man. At most they should have picked XFCE or something. This is gonna bloat the shit out of the install media.

Why are they even bothering to do this? It's going to take years and years of work to get to the same level as the Linux desktop, they even have to use the DRM drivers from Linux to get it to work right now. Even if the desktop did work perfectly tomorrow, FreeBSD is never going to be normie-friendly simply because of the lack of compatible software. The only people who would use it are those who are already familiar with FreeBSD on a server and want their desktop to be a pain in the ass to use.
