1. No modern FS
2. No docker/podman support
3. No modern init system
4. libc is broken
5. Half of Kernel is locked.

Why do even people donate to this shit

so that you can cope & seethe about it on random basket weaving forums

>1. No modern FS
what do you need (((modern))) fs for? what's wrong with ext4?
2. No docker/podman support
you can't just run a binary?
3. No modern init system
by modern you mean jewish systemd, alright
4. libc is broken
it isn't
5. Half of Kernel is locked.
i don't know what that even means

>Why do even people donate to this shit
the openbsd people made many of the most important libraries in the programming world used literally everywhere, it's not only os
>>
>>106653744
It's package manager is written in perl. Fucking perl. It's ports build system doesn't allow any artifacts downloading during build phase, which is delusional. Moreover, no modern programming languages takes this platform seriously because it's being run by Mesozoic boomers.

OpenBSD doesn't support ext4 fyi.

>you can't just run a binary?
Half of the binaries don't support OpenBSD. On Linuxland, if a binary doesn't support my distro, I can just spin up a supported distro container and run my shit there. Also keeps the OS free from dependency hell.

>by modern you mean jewish systemd, alright

At least port OpenRC or runit. But nah, let's rely on fucking shell scripts like it's 1900s.

>4. libc is broken

It is. Port Kitty into OpenBSD, you'll see what I am talking about. OpenBSD devs willy nilly remove shit from their libc.

I may have been outdated about the locked parts of their Kernel. Apologies.

I understand OpenBSD's contribution to some of the most widely used programs, but what is to say they couldn't come up with the same if they contributed to Linux?

Other package managers are written in python or BASH. How is perl any worse?

I tried FreeBSD a couple of weeks back.
I had no UI. Apparently, it's separately installed?
wtf?

There is an openBSD port for runit. Pretty sure you could also port OpenRC onto openBSD, but that wouldn't really fix the "it's all shell scripts" part

Try GhostBSD if that's too hard for you.

perl lost its userbase and fell behind. it is obsolete museum piece

Just like C with Rust

OpenBSD is pretty fun for tinkering and reading the source. I wouldn't actually use it for anything. FreeBSD however is actually reasonable for a server.
>>
>>106654135
>>106654368

Can't find any valid point to criticize, so instead resorts to insults. Like a true *BSD cult member.
>>
>>106654538
Compare pkg_* tools to something like nix,guix,apt,dnf,xbps, if you don't see the gulf in quality and the hackjob that the OpenBSD team has put together, I feel sorry for you. Even FreeBSD's pkg is better.

Yeah can you imagine doing something without an industry approved react+JS stack nowadays? Unbelievable.
My recruiter would laugh.
>>
>>106654862
Webshitters need not comment in this thread.

Use C to rewrite the package manager,like any sane team would.
>>
All I know is that I have filtered out 20 threads just so I can use a board that says "technology" on the top of the page to discuss technology rather than be exposed to weird pervert shit and racist obsession. Or even low effort quips like this.

To, simply, discuss technology. Or literature. Or literally anything meaningful on an intellectual level. It doesn't have to be this bad. Some people actually want to discuss things.
>>
>>106654862
hold your react+js horses retard
of all old crusty languages they should have written it in C like freebsd. it would be noticeable faster and TRV & KVLT

Like this

It is used for networking and security mostly.

>>106654943
Can you give me some examples?
I am using an OpenBSD box as a firewall,and I like it. But it's simply not cut out for desktop use.
Also, isn't the networking stack of FreeBSD better?
>>
Perl? Yeah, and it still does exactly what it’s supposed to – reliable, readable, and auditable. Just because you need a thousand npm packages to print “Hello world” doesn’t mean OpenBSD is the problem.

The ports system forbids downloading artifacts during build precisely so you know what you’re compiling and don’t wake up tomorrow with a “surprise” from some random GitHub maintainer. That’s not delusional, that’s called security.

And about those “Mesozoic boomers” – funny how people who’ve been writing code for 20+ years are still delivering a more stable OS than all the corporate circuses with their “modern” languages. Maybe it’s not a dinosaur, but the fossil fuel that still keeps the internet running.
>>
>>106654628
I write perl every single day for money you dumb zoomer nigger.

80-90% of code in the real world is "dead languages", Cobol, perl, C, C++, fortran

The point is so big tech can use it to kill the GPL. That's the only reason to use it. Otherwise, it's just a worse Linux.

You know what else is security? Using a fucking sandbox to run your programs. But oh well, I guess that concept is too modern for the boomers of BSDLand to understand.

Even you can deliver a more stable OS than corpo shills if that meant gatekeeping half of the features a modern dev environment needs to function.

Based and offline-pilled. Every good Linux distro requires the same.
