que digo?

Just responding to say I love your username OP lmao

debian stable with backports and flatpaks will get you up to date software and a very stable base

I have to use it at a job. It’s awful, the ads on windows 11 especially.

you mean chimera using BSD utils instead of gnu?

no fundamental differences between net and freebsd?

Debian stable.

NetBSD didn’t fork from Free iirc. They took 4.4 BSD and started developing it themselves of the net.

Theo de Raadt was kicked out of netbsd, and started OpenBSD.

you’re more likely to find BSD communities on reddit, each projects mailing lists, freebsd forums, and unitedbsd.com (which is a great forum, although not too active).

No, but I think someone made read only support for ZFS available on OpenBSD. Freebsd is obviously the best for ZFS. It works on NetBSD too.

NetBSD, from their own website:

The NetBSD Project’s goals

A project has no point if it doesn’t have goals. Thankfully, the NetBSD Project has enough goals to keep it busy for quite some time. Generally speaking, the NetBSD Project:

provides a well designed, stable, and fast BSD system,
avoids encumbering licenses,
provides a portable system, which runs on many hardware platforms,
interoperates well with other systems,
conforms to open systems standards as much as is practical.

In summary: The NetBSD Project provides a freely available and redistributable system that professionals, hobbyists, and researchers can use in whatever manner they wish.

Based on the name of have assumed it’s be used in things like network appliances but in 20 years I’ve never seen a single device use it.

The name comes from being develop over the internet, when that was still a pretty new concept. It’s pretty popular among Japanese ISP’s iirc.

If you’re at all interested in unix, you should try NetBSD. Open has security as a focus…although some of that is overstated imo. FreeBSD is clearly targeting servers, even if it is all purpose.

NetBSD is less popular, but it’s clean, lightweight, portable, has pkgsrc. Think of Net as a cross between Open and Free.

would have to check on that specifically.

even when chrome was obviously faster, and was gaining in popularity, I still used FF. It’s my preferred browser, and using it along with ublock origin makes going online more hassle free. Add to that multi account containers, reader mode, and just the general ability to customize it, I really can’t see myself using another browser

btrfs and snapshots is one solution

Also, it looks like you were able to solve the problem, even if you aren’t 100% sure why. Maybe the difference in package versions lead to some problem with the bootloader, causing it to go to emergency mode, and updating it fixed the problem?

Another is using a more stable distro…

I heard about this a little while back. I think it’s interesting, and it’s nice to see someone try something slightly different. The creator is obviously opinionated about how their distro should work. At least it’s not just another debian/ubuntu based distro.

yast can be ugly, but effective. And aesthetics are definitely subjective. Agree about zypper though.

I actually kind of like that.

I remember using Icewm and it had a theme that mimicked XP lol.

it’s good for first timers, or for people who are just less interested in the command line and configuring everything

use linux mint, xubuntu, or maybe pclinuxos

Debian sid. Used to use stable only.
