/prog/ - Nothing works with BSD

Name: Anonymous 2017-02-15 17:54

Why did I do this to myself? This is worse than the worst buyer's remorse I've ever had. What do I switch to so that things actually work?

OpenVMS

Gentoo is an awesome OS.

Use TempleOS

You have to evaluate software before you can rely on it. Now that you've evaluated it, you found that you can't get it to work. That's fine, just return back to what you were doing before.

Why did you go for BSD in the first place? What is your use case?

>>2
Doesn't have an x86 version, which statistically speaking is most likely what >>1 needs.

>>3
What's so great about it?

>>4
Doesn't that lack networking capabilities? That's a pretty big deficiency for a general-purpose OS.

TempleOS is designed to be a toy OS. The author explicitly modeled the OS after the hackability of the C64.

Darwin m8

Darwin is BSD, dolt.

Darwin is deprecated. Just use MINIX 2/kReactOS if you want to be a special snowflake.

BSDs are meant for servers and console-only terminals.
I assume you installed PCBSD and tried to "upgrade it", which often breaks driver compatibility?
I recommend Ubuntu Studio instead. Nice real-time kernel and lightweight xfce

I tried out BSD because I wanted something new and I've already tried a few linux variants.

>>12
I installed OpenBSD because the community really oversold it (amazing man pages, fully customizable desktop shit, etc.)

I can't go back to windows what with W10 being so horrible so I guess I'll give Ubuntu Studio a shot. Any chance you have a couple other desktop oriented *nix variants I can take a look at to make a decision?

I installed OpenBSD

There's your problem, OpenBSD is a pile of shit. FreeBSD is way more usable, I've been using it every day for a few months and I don't have many complaints.

OpenBSD is actually great for servers, a shame it's so x86/x64-focused and other architectures get shafted
