> FreeBSD
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.
Why KDE man. At most they should have picked XFCE or something. This is gonna bloat the shit out of the install media.
I haven't ever even used it as a desktop. It's great to run services on, though. My longest use of one was as a firewall/router and I just kept it headless under the bed for like five years. Maybe had to take duster to it to get rid of dust bunnies every year or so.
FreeBSD can't game at all. Linux is just getting the point of being a competitor on that front.
That's debatable. There's not a lot of people using ZFS on Linux. And most of the useful features of ZFS you can emulate well enough under ext/xfs, like with md instead of native RAID-ish in ZFS.
Networking is leagues better in BSD, particularly when it comes to state handling and routing. That's why it's a much better alternative to Linux when it comes to firewall and router appliances. Not to say that Linux can't do the job (see: Openwrt), but BSD tends to be the preferable option there. Also BSD's design philosophy results in a lowered attack surface.
They did and didn't. Containers offer better isolation than chroot jails, but that comes at a cost of increased isolation between them. A chroot jail can still, IIRC, use system calls and signals to talk to each other or the host system, but a container cannot.
That's likely due to increased vendor support from the likes of RH, Canonical, SuSE, etc.
Admittedly it's been quite a while since I touched Proxmox, so good to see they're moving on to other things. Also didn't know that about backup stuff, most of the under-the-hood I've seen there was TSM. Also, just checked -- missed the time when TrueNAS moved over to Debian from BSD, interesting.
I don't know if Proxmox is much different than the last time you used it, it's just that VMWare is moving away from the vast majority of their customers and Proxmox is filling the gaping hole they've left behind.
In the mid to high end I'm seeing Nutanix. Which has more limited hardware options, Fibre Channel for instance is missing. But has a very pretty GUI and seems to be making inroads.
They use ZFS on Linux, too, don't they?
I don't like the GPL 3.0/ AGPL becuase of the sheer amount of fuckery I've seen with it (Granted these are super autistic troons in a 2D space game). In the SS13 thread we talk alot about "abusing" the GPL3/AGPL so often someone came up with the Autogynphilia Public License to mock them.
The proper solution is to use freeBSD with HAMMER2 obviously.
Extremely aware. And anyone who knew anything about Broadcom knew that was the death knell sounding for VMWare. Shame, because there's not really any other true virtualization products out there. Plenty of pseudovirtualization.
Nutanix is the only real enterprise contender to VMWare. And they may stay that way, until there's a major shift to repatriate workloads from the cloud. Then we might see another contender step up. Xen is the next best option likely.
ZFS on Linux is very mainstream these days. I did an evaluation of a couple software NAS vendors recently (StarWind VSAN, SoftNAS) and all their newfangled products were fundamentally Linux + ZFS.
