I'm convinced IE only lasted so long because Firefox users were absolutely insufferable at first. To the point of having messages and pop-ups on sites saying things like "I see you're using Internet Explorer. Perhaps you'd like to try a modern browser?" or words to that effect.
Wasn't NixOS pretty troon-friendly already? I can already see this project failing like Ayo.js, Glimpse and so on. Forking a project because you have beef with the original maintainers just perpetuates the problem of fragmentation in the open-source development sphere. I hate that people fork projects because of ideological motives instead of purely technical ones and how certain people want everything to be political. Dude, fuck off with that noise and let me do my work goddamnit.
It's moving to a community governance model. Troon friendliness requires jack-booted jannies with no checks or balances.
As someone whose been meaning to try nix at some point, troons leaving seems like a golden opportunity.
Maybe BSD based? if you're asking about alternate operating systems (I'm assuming for desktop purposes) outside of those options, they tend to be not suitable for everyday use.
This is probably the closest thing to a starting point for those wanting a desktop based on FreeBSD.
If you're really interested in using something like BSD I'd look at the server side of things more than desktop. There isn't much use in the desktop space and you'll largely just be getting a worse experience than Linux. There are actual good use cases for using BSD in servers. Pfsense and TrueNAS are 2 good BSD based projects that you could implement and get real use out of.
Best bet is buying that Chinese Longsoon (MIPS derived) processor lol. Have fun with MSS/JSCIB backdoors instead of NSA/FBI/CIA ones.
Ideologically driven? Say it ain't so. I can't wait for a private company to kill off these projects then jack the price up 1000% as a pseudo monopoly when the open source alternative is so bad that it isn't worth considering. I almost believe this to be deliberate.
I bet those fucks dont even know that Gimp stands for
They probably know, but they have a stronger association with gimp masks
I wonder why that could be...
I always thought it was odd using FreeBSD and its variants as a desktop daily driver. I also have built systems specifically for FreeBSD, generally not as desktop systems but as things like routers, mostly before specialized routers and custom firmware were a big thing. I'd generally run these headless with no GUI (other than maybe an X server) or even a monitor.
Are you using the tech forum as your human driven google at this point?
Rancher? Proxmox? Plain old Debian with a minimal install and learn to use the virsh or qemu-kvm CLI?
It's sad when the worst hate forum on the Internet is more useful than Google.
Yes, he uses the forum as his personal search engine.
Sounds like it should be renamed to the Serpentine Photo EDitor to eliminate the ambiguity.
In fairness, have you tried using Google?
