What exactly is the deal with DragonflyBSD? Is it still being used and where?
>>107900604All I know is that it is the fourth most popular BSD behind FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, which means it's a somewhat obscure element of an already somewhat obscure set of operating systems. I'd wager it, much like other BSDs, is used predominantly for servers, although I have never heard of anyone using it except for the occasional BSD enthusiast running a home server (not throwing shade, just never heard)
>>107900604cuck license
>>107900604Matt Dillon (iirc his name) was not happy with the FreeBSD's SMP implementation and he believed he could make it better, so he forked freebsd 5 and implemented his message passing SMPHe also had interesting ideas, namely the hammer fs and the virtual kernels capabilities To this day it seems that freebsd caught up dbsd performances (and also ended up being better) The ideas are (were?) interesting on paper but lacks of men-power makes it look like it's virtually stagnating at this point Essentially> documenation is not comparable to other bsds (last time I checked there were graphs from 2012) and the "handbook" still had a lot of sections TBDed> Performance wise it loses systematically to freebsd > Hammer looks like it's "almost ready" since forever > He seems to become shy talking vkernelsIf Matt start to take documentation seriously I would consider it
>>107900604It's to Linux what Dragonfly is to LSD
>>107904190>he forked freebsd 5if memory serves, it's been like 20 or so years, it is actually a fork of 4.x ... cause freebsd 5 was kinda shitty
>>107905011Yeah you're right. I was probably confused by the fact that actually he wasnt's happy with 5
>>107904190hammer is cool, did it ever get ported to other BSDs/.
