So, what's the advantage of BSD operating systems? What's the use case?

people that just want a PC for web browsing and office stuff

>>108473589
doesn't have all the churn of linux
more or less works just the same way it did 20 years ago when i installed it the first time

It's for documentation enjoyers

Almost as worse cuck license and code of conduct than Wintroon and macTroon. Use Linux fucking npc baby duck sheep with stockholm syndrome. Loser cuck
>>
>>108473589
no systemd
no age verification
it just works (tm)

Sane system design, not fractured over 20 different ecosystems. You'll never go back to linux.

if docker worked on freebsd i would switch over completely.

It's trash, only retarded contrarians would fall for it.

The use case is that you get come out as gay without having to tell anybody.

>>108473589
Less faggotry to deal with in the community, meaning less "heated" tags or 250-count childmolesters talking at you from a position of moral superiority.

No retarded additions like age-gating.

High standards of code-quality.

Better compatibility between releases.

Project-head who actually lifts.

BSD is a complete operating system unlike linux which is just a kernel, each BSD "distro" has a clear focus on what it wants to achive and the documentation is unmatched

>TLDR: BSD is the white man's linux

>>108477687
It was the source of the original SJW nutso whack job BSDGirl because Linux bros were too mean to her.
>>
>>108478710
yes! The most appealing part is that you can run pkg_delete -a and your system works because you installed all the sets that really matter, and they are vacuum-tight.
no d-bus, no elogind, no pulseaudio/pipewire or even alsa, Xenocara in place of Xorg, BSD init scripts
It's only (mostly because it doesn't run Windows games) surpassed by LFS (but don't jump straight into it, Slackware doesn't burn you out the same way if you don't know *exactly* all the packages you might need, and their dependency trees.)
>>
>>108477293
Ironic, given that FreeBSD jails are the original Docker.
>>
>>108473589
More vertically integrated and stable despite being fairly up to date.
>>
>>108473607
>people that just want a PC for web browsing and office stuff
That's definitely not what BSD is for.
>>
>>108477293
Doesn't FreeBSD have it's own thing?
>>
>>108477687
This is a good point.

Linux is funded by half of the tech industry for interests that probably don't align with yours. BSD is funded mostly by router companies that need a fast and minimal OS on their routers. They literally can't afford to have bloat, poor code or bad engineering decisions.

linux kernel and linux userspace is different. linux kernel is genuinely superior to BSD kernel, the userspace beyond GNU is absolute retardation in linux.

Well?

It's mainly for embedded devices.
>>
>>108473589
It's for people who think they're too hipster for Linux.
>>
>>108480895
wrong, "big" embedded use yocto or buildroot, "small" embedded uses freertos or similar.
there is no place for BSD, they use it on the playstation because nips don't want to deal with commie retardation like have contributing back or give your modifications for free.
that's really the only reason to use any BSD as they're technically inferior on every single point comparted to linux-based OSes
>>
>>108480459
as other anon said, they have jails, which i actually really like, but docker is the lingua franca in industry and i need my personal device to match pretty closely to that. freebsd is awesome though.
>>
>>108480885
Wouldn't the end user also be one of the many people getting to enjoy the bounty of a hot piece of BSD software? Unlike Linux where you get the sloppy seconds from hundreds of corporation as they have to leave their "contribution", BSDs are like an infinitely replicating virgin. Everyone gets to use however they like, with no restrictions.
