Been playing with Free BSD for a long time but also branched to Open BSD which is considered secure.
Could you summarize in lay language for non-techies?
If you’re evaluating a game in terms of 3D graphics performance, Linux wins because of its superior support for graphics chipsets. The FreeBSD developers almost overwhelmingly are focused on disks & filesystems, networking, etc for work-related stuff, although they may be racing to catch up with new de-facto standards. FreeBSD people want a well-thought out environment that’s mostly BSD licensed, not restricted to a 500 clause GNU license. There’s a big variety of Linux distros that suck, but both OS’s rely on the huge library of ever-improving GNU software, and Linux has different priorities. Linux is ahead of the curve with small embedded platforms like cellphones (Android). iphones, etc have BSD code in them, but they aren’t FreeBSD.
The problem with FreeBSD are the Christian hating maggots who produce it.
It is an extremely efficient and stable OS, but I cannot stomach the people who developed it.
