Mostly rutracker + jpopsuki.

By the way, I watched a video about OpenBSD and kinda intrigued to put it on my old Thinkpad. Well, at least I’ll consider if I can make it without a headache. I have a plan to make a really minimal (and maybe secure) writing machine. :)

I see, I thought FreeBSD has the most users so I would guess a better hardware support but apparently not. I was only interested in NetBSD because of backwards hardware compatibility and that’s pretty much it, because some stuff has problems even with small Linux distros.

It’s quite interesting to see people who also game on BSD by the way. Rock on!

Totally agree. I installed Gentoo a couple times before (last time maybe 10 years ago though, all were stage3). I tried stage1 once and my Linux knowledge was not even good that time, so there is that. :)

Even installing it will teach you a lot of things.

Well, to be fair I don’t really have time to learn whole another system, even though there are many similarities. I’m just interested, as a hobby. :)

It’s good to know they have package managers like Linux though.

The bot couldn’t even put the link in the correct place lol

I heard BSD is solid as a server. The person I know had to compile everything but that was many years ago. I would assume you have binary packages as well nowadays?

I never really used BSD and I only know NetBSD a little. I’m actually curious about a NetBSD server but I’m lazy even for my desktop. And I was considering switching my Debian server to Alpine but I haven’t touched that server since 2019 aside from occasional updates, so even that’s a big step for me. I guess the more realistic standpoint is I will install Alpine when my netbook finally dies and have to replace it with another hardware. :)

That’s fair I think :)

Comparing to Linux BSD is quite niche, and I even met a guy who uses Linux other than me in real life was like in 2011 for the first time. No one knew what BSD was.

Personally I only meddled with NetBSD for really old PCs.

I guess I can count you as the first person I know who uses OpenBSD now.

Heh, there was a guy on our local forums who daily drived FreeBSD 20 years ago. They probably still using it. 20 years later, I still don’t know any other people who daily drive a BSD.

I once tried Gentoo stage 1 because I felt bad ass and failed miserably. However that also taught me a lot.

Just wanted to say this, it’s usually not a good idea to not update the browser you daily use. Instead you can switch to something like Firefox-ESR (extended support release) which is updated slowly.

IMO that’s why it became popular at the time. It was a Linux distro anyone can install and use right away after installation.

Compared to Ubu…

I see. It seems river changed a lot since last time I used it. Now I’m intrigued, it adopts the old ways. Maybe I should check it again because I haven’t seen a lighter WM/compositor for Wayland yet.

I used river for quite some time when I moved over to Wayland from bspwm. I still find it great for configuring from scratch.

No idea what are beansprout and rhine though.

Unless they’re comparing to LMDE, they’re mostly similar about being lightweight.

Not saying lightweight but Ubuntu 10.10 booting was fast at least even on HDD.

Mostly not for foreigners like us but for highschoolers (and below) though. :)

Sometimes both. I recently started using an old Macbook with Void, which they have notorious broadcom-wl, so I searched a lot and a got a micro network adapter. It was actually quite hard to find with a working driver because Realtek. Anyway this one I found seemed to had a dkms driver on Void repo, so I went with that.

The dkms driver gives bunch of errors for some reason. I didn’t have time to debug it and just compiled from Github. Naturally I have to compile it every kernel update. I probably can add a hook for it but haven’t done that yet because lazy.

“Page not found” but the post is upvoted this much? Is the article taken down perhaps?
