For people who understand the internal structure of operating systems it is clear *BSD and especially FreeBSD is objectively the best operating system ever created. This is why Apple used it as a foundation for their OS X,. They knew what they were doing, but they are proprietary fags.

Do you realize that if GNU/fags didn't ruin it all by pushing the Linux meme, we could literally enjoy PC heaven today? If everyone used FreeBSD , FreeBSD would have enough support, good drivers and even games.

Seriously history went the wrong way, FreeBSD should have won.

Could you elaborate on that statement please?

es.
BSD-kernel are not stand-alone kernels but are developed as being part of a whole. Of course, this is merely a philosophical point of view and not a technical one, but this give system coherence.
BSD-kernel are developed with a more conservative point-of_view and more concern about staying consistent with their approach than having fancy features.
Linux-kernel are more about drivers, features, ... (the more the better).
As greatly stated somewhere else:

It is Intelligent Design and Order (BSD*) versus Natural Selection and Chaos (GNU/Linux).
2. In which scenarios would one kind of kernel have an advantage over the other?

About their overall structure and concept, while comparing an almost vanilla Linux-kernel and a FreeBSD-kernel, they are more or less of the same general usage level, that is with no particular specialization (not real-time, not highly paralleled, not game oriented, not embedded, ...).

Of course there are a few differences here and there, such as native ZFS support or the geom architecture for FreeBSD versus the many drivers or various file-systems for Linux. But nothing some general software such as web servers or databases would really use to make a real difference. Comparisons in these cases would most likely end in some tuning battle between the two, nothing major.

But, some would argue that OpenBSD has a deep and consistent approach to security, while hardened Linux distributions are "just" modified versions of the vanilla Linux-kernel. This might be true for such heavily specialized system, as would Steam-OS be the number one to play games.

3. Are there any joint efforts to concentrate forces for one common kernel or certain modules?

There is no joint effort to concentrate forces for one common kernel, as there are major licences, philosophical or approach issues.

If some real common efforts exist such as OpenZFS, most of the time it is more about drivers and concepts taken or inspired from one another.

If Apple uses FreeBSD, then why doesn't it have good drivers and good games now?

Answer: Because it uses a cuck license and Apple doesn't have to give shit back to FreeBSD. Why would anyone else be different? Where are the Red Hats and the Suses of the BSD world?

Nope, Apple doesn't use BSD, but components from their userspace and kernel space

What the fuck are you saying?
By that logic I can say the same about GNU/Linux because that cuck license.

Stopped reading right there. Learn to properly construct a sentence before you try to convince us with your logical fallacies.

And everybody knows this is the only way to go if we consider AI requires neural networks to operate. AFAIK, windows and indeed Microsoft devices altogether are designed using this type of network (you refer to it ironically as a botnet).

Apple didn't take BSD instead of Linux because it was better, but because it had a permissive license.
GNUfags didn't push a meme past bsd, the GPL happened, and GNU/Linux left BSD in the dust. On the trash heap of history.
Enjoy getting your permissive license assraped by corporate botnetification, you retarded looser.

Indeed. MS should have never been allowed to bribe OEMs into stick their trash onto the hardware by default.

Googling shit is so hard these days apparently. Mac OS is not the same thing as OS X which was based on an operating system that was a consolidation of the Mach microkernel and *BSD (Free and Net both according to some) userland and drivers.

> This is why Apple used it as a foundation for their OS X

I agree with the other anon, this is straight up bait.

For reference:

You know Apple contributes code via Darwin which FreeBSD has used to great effect. One was libdispatch (Grand Central Dispatch) which greatly improved SMP support in OS X and iOS. They didn't have to do that. Of course, Apple does a lot of things that will most likely have a return profit in some way but your first mistake is assuming Linux had anything they wanted in the first place.

>>53488045
You could help it's not too hard make FreeBSD the best OS.
But talking like this on 4chan isn't helpful.
