I heard someone describe #Mastodon as social media for people who like #Linux. Now I’m curious. How many of you actually like Linux?
(Please boost! Hoping for a sufficiently large sample size that’s more likely to represent the wider #fediverse.)
Linux is ok but #BSD is better. Try GhostBSD or helloSystem
@mfjurbala I probably should’ve guessed that someone would chime in with some BSD love. 😆
For the record, I’ve played with FreeBSD a little. I have a greater need for a desktop OS, and that seemed to be better suited to serving as a server OS.
In your opinion, is the same true of your recommendations? Genuinely curious.
@digichelle @mfjurbala I personally think that the statement that "BSD is better than Linux" is, at this point, the most hipster thing that can be said in computing.
Then, of course, the Haiku Daily-Drivers will pipe in with their ironic-bowler hats and make me a liar.
And here I am, sitting in the corner, missing the OS/2 Workplace shell with its "everything is an object" metaphor, drinking a craft pilsner and trying to hide my not-red fedora.

Being judgmental
To operating systems?
Wasting energy.
@DopeGhoti @digichelle @mfjurbala
Judgemental is the wrong word. It's more about people proselytizing to other people who are proselytizing to them about the same basic thing. All the while neither of them realizing that both are so entrenched that neither can change their mind.
@DopeGhoti @digichelle @mfjurbala
I think that all OS arguments should be done in Haiku format.
Except those about Haiku OS, but that's just too on-the-nose. Those should be done in formal sonnet form.

ChatGPT suggests:
In Hiaku's realm thrives,
Elegance whispers in code,
Fluidity reigns.
With grace, it transcends the rest,
Linux bows to Hiaku's best.
@DopeGhoti @digichelle @mfjurbala
But we all know that OS/2 is best, so:
In Hiaku's realm thrives,
Elegance whispers in code,
Fluidity reigns.
Yet, OS/2 stands above,
Powerful, it claims its love.
@symbology @digichelle @mfjurbala
About OS/2:
I never got to use it;
I did hear good things
On a technical level.
It's a shame it caught not on.
@DopeGhoti @symbology @digichelle @mfjurbala
It's brave men who
Install bare metal OS/2;
It's being mended.

I'm happy as long as you are open to trying new things. I think alternatives and some friendly competition are good for innovation.
There's no universal solution.
