FreeBSD is the only BSD worth using because OpenBSD is insecure.

"Best" is a subjective thing. Some are better then others for doing certain tasks such that best is derived from the criteria which you are using to judge. In terms of security probably BSD (obscurity/closed source binary components, open source everything else) -> Linux (open source forcing solid code) -> MAC (obscurity/good initial foundation) -> Windows (obscurity/cluster fuck).

In terms of philosophy Linux would be the ideal as quality open source code can continuously be rebuilt/built upon where as bad closed source code will take more and more effort over time.

A lot of what is "best" in a certain area, i.e. image modification, video rendering, etc. is dependent on software and the big money machines which have driven these markets. For gaming windows is best simply because games were designed to be run with Windows APIs, drivers, etc.

Thankfully the hardware improvement stage is going to dwindle eventually and this is the time we will see more efficient/better written code making a huge comeback as the only way to continue growth will be better algorithms and better code quality, i.e. Linux will be the ultimate victor.

OpenBSD has no jails and you can't install anything without breaking the meme auditing.

>>51719981

Windows 7

>>51724333
haha holy shit you even show up in non-BSD threads now
>>
>>51724352
you can do anything in FreeBSD that OpenBSD can do. literally all OpenBSD has is a worthless audited base.
>>
>>51724385
whatever lol

you're still as autistic as ever, even angela is a better shitposter than you because at least its different every time
>>
Nobody will agree on this. The best OS will depend on what you do with your computer, what's important to you, ect.
>>
>>51719981
ubuntu
>>
>>51720010
This. Nothing better the combination of the windows kernel and GNU core utils is the most powerful os ever made.
>>
Whatever OS works for your needs

No really though
>not dual booting windows and linux for different purposes on your main PC with OSX and or linux on your laptop
>>
>>51720004
This, FreeBSD is superior.
