Comment I'm a big FreeBSD Fan, but . . . (Score 0) 21

I'm an OG Solaris (x86/SPARC) person who started at 15 in 95', then Linux/FreeBSD a few months after. Linux has lost it's way. FreeBSD has taken what was great from Solaris, BUT . . . . For someone who wants to run it on a laptop and or desktop it's not there yet. And sadly, the support for wifi and graphics are through a Linux KPI emulation layer; like that's not a performance hit. I was excited to go FreeBSD on a Frame.Work 16 laptop, and I had to piece meal it to get it semi functional like I did with Linux back in the mid 90s. Sure, there's a few models that are working right out of the box, but FreeBSD stated they'll try to get full support for a few Laptops and FW 13 & 16 are the two top at the list. Both of those laptops aren't bleeding edge or horribly new. I got the FW16 after it was out already 2years expecting it to be close. When you see that support there on the top tier laptops they are pushing for, then I think FreeBSD will start to make momentum over Linux or least be an desktop/laptop comparable option. Then maybe some will take interest into developing native drivers directly than using Linux KPI. I for one would love to see FreeBSD take over past Linux. It deserves its opportunity.

Comment Apparently Musk hasn't contacted TMobile support (Score 0) 211

After trying to get a Peplink 5G modem to work on their business internet line for two weeks with those idiots; I'll pass. They are the shittiest Telco I have dealt with. And the support engineers at the call center in the Philippines are worthless as tits on a bull. T-Mobile is bottom of the Telcos for me now Musk sure makes shitty partnerships likely to the lowest bidder

Comment SysV & SMF (Score 0) 135

SystemD was Linux attempt to "beat" Solaris 10s SMF feature which is lightyears better than SystemD. But most Linux bois only know a shitty Linux distro. SysV Init can do 90% of most start-up tasks even crazy ones. SMF refined it and added dependences and parallel runtimes. SystemD is jusf another Linux hack of shit; and no I'm not a Linux hater, but a hater of the distros whom have lost the meaning of what Linux was meant to be.
