>>107788674>>107782704What is OpenRC, and how does it differ from Systemd in usage and practicality?Bonus if you can compare SysV with these, too.
>>107788674Also, that's a sexy computer :3
>>107788711iirc OpenRC is kinda like a middle ground between something like systemd and sysvinit bash files. it still uses shell scripts for the service files but they're a bit cleaner and easier to write
>>107788674Recently installed ghostbsd, what are some must have software and what tweaks should I do? Also should I switch to freeBSD once I get used to it?
>>107788711rc is easy to understand since it's just shell scriptssystemd is bloated and overly complicated>>107788781>Also should I switch to freeBSD once I get used to it?yesin reality you will likely get a better understanding of it if quicker you didn't use ghostbsd
I always about audio issues with FreeBSD. I have an old thinkpad lying around and want to try running it. Is there anything I should be aware of beforehand?

Okay, convince me to use your stupid OS! Go ahead!
>>107791440OpenBSD and FreeBSD are both complete operating systems, not pieced together from various GNU janks.Documentation is miles better, see for example https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/.Updating the operating system is absolutely painless, I have never managed to get a system fucked by updating it.ZFS is the king of all filesystems (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/).Jails are pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/).I use FreeBSD for my servers. OpenBSD looks sexy but I haven't tried it out yet.
I have NetBSD installed in a VM but not sure what to do with it. It's a basic unix.
>>107791645>not sure what to do with itwhy'd you install it then?
>>107788674If your computer doesn't look like this, you aren't white.
Anyone here use pkgsrc on linux?
>>107791779You can use even git toohttps://github.com/netbsd/pkgsrc
>>107791779I'd use Guix or Nix instead. Way more software and no compability challenges
I use OpenBSD with xfce3 on a 7th gen i3 as the "modern" rig in my lab (next most powerful thing is a duron running XP). I'm very happy with open based, but I want to run some heavy math code, and hyper threading is disabled for security, among other things. So I''m thinking of setting up a more powerful rig (say 9th gen i5), running other BSD. Which one is good for heavy computation? I don't care at all about anything else.
>>107792424>Which one is good for heavy computation?FreeBSD
>>107792424I have no clue what you would need for your little experiements but the only serious option to OpenBSD is FreeBSD.So maybe check them out if they allow whatever it is you need.

>>107792471>>107792472Thank you very much, anons. I'll install FreeBSD. It's been many, many years since I've installed it, wasn't sure of the performance.
>>107791766that is a very Japanese computer>>107792424like GPU offload level of math? FreeBSD is the only option if soperhaps it's relevant to point out the 11th is the last generation before the P and E core nonsense, 10th was better for efficiency but 11th has a better integrated GPU
>>107792579Mostly bigint work, I'm curious about the distribution of some families of numbers. Nothing critical, but I don't want the computation taking too long
>>107792537wtf
Is anyone actually using DragonflyBSD? For what purpose?
