To those who use BSD on their desktop or laptop, why? Why use BSD when GNU/Linux is available?

If someone is running BSD on a laptop, I would love to know what model ... so I can get one.

thinkpads seem to work

also i use it because i like it OP

>>55581038
Linux is not hipster enough. That's the only reason. We are actually closet Macfags. We pretend we use BSD lest people in /g/ shouldn't call us mactoddlers

Apparently a fair number of OpenBSD devs use thinkpads. Never had a problem running it on mine. If you're buying the latest shiniest thinkpad early after release you should probably should track -current.

For me, it's the license. Not really anything tangible, but I just like the BSD license better than GPL, while most won't give a shit about that and would benefit from the larger Linux community.

you literally search the catalog 24/7 just so you can say "bsd people are macfags xD"

Also, I simply prefer using BSD. I also try to have a linux system for testing (the distro has varied a bit over the years). But I spent many years working on real BSD and System V Unix systems, and BSD feels much more Unix-like than Linux. Linux has been feeling increasingly less Unix-like as the years have passed, since long before systemd was even a pimple on Poettering's ass.
>>
>>55581038

GNU/Linux is full of retards. GNOME & GTK, systemd & Poettering, Arch switching to systemd, hundreds of distros with retards pushing one over the other when they're exactly the same underneath the DE, "Linus is funny cause he rants and swears!" hurr durrs, muh fembot SJW outreach programs instead of funding development.

Keep out of conversations you're too ignorant to join, kid.

Back in my day we lurked a long fucking time before posting to avoid making shit posts like yours.

no it means that it's an open source program that can compile on openbsd

but it's ok, i don't expect you to be intelligent

>>55581591
And yet you are using BSd OS

>>55581592
I don't see any .deb or .rpm equivalent file in google website. Is it even native or hacked together.

>>55581468
Are you pretending you don't use gtk? Do you use Qt? Lets see your desktop
>>
>>55581625

I use GTK. That doesn't mean I can't think they're fucking retarded. Their new release method is absolutely stupid. They won't accept patches to allow thumbnails or any different views in the file picker because they think it isn't an issue.
>>
>>55581625

No I was >>55581560 and I'm actually anti-BSD. I made >>55581564 in hopes you'd fuck off and stop posting. You're absolutely ruining my trolling session by posting stupid shit that shows you know nothing about software. The guy I'm trolling is going to go for your shit bait and I will get no satisfaction.

guess any linux distro not based on debian or red hat must suck then and can't run chromium

oh wait

also there are no binaries for chromium on their site in the first place

please know what you're talking about before posting

>>55581722
It builds but last I used it, it ran like absolute dog shit and had errors and shit every 2 minutes. Maybe it's changed; been a few years but I doubt it because OpenBSD has the same code as it did in 1944

Yeah, Chinkpads are a nice choice. FreeBSD 10.3 from an X201.

I've never had trouble running OpenBSD on any slightly older hardware. I know, you've heard the meme about no drivers, but that's only on the newest (mostly GPU and wireless adapters) hardware. OpenBSD is slow to support the newest, but once it is supported, that hardware will always work. Ten years from now, your current hardware will probably not run the latest version of Windows, but if it does, it will be very painful to use. It may or may not run the latest version of Linux distro X, and if it does, it will not be without a shitload of problems. OpenBSD will run well on it, because OpenBSD doesn't deliberately break shit, let alone leave it broken.

I can't really say with FreeBSD because I haven't used it as much, however they do take great pains to ensure Linux binary comparability, so in principle anything that works with the latest version of Fedora, should be able to work with FreeBSD. It just may take a bit of work.

they will if it somehow allows them to make it more secure

There are different types of fit, anon. Of course you can overpower her, she's a runner not a linebacker...
