#bsd

What is your preferred BSD-for-desktop and preferred Linux-for-desktop?

In terms of something that reasonably approximates (what used to be) the stability of (previous versions of) macOS / early-release-Windows 10, for use by someone who routinely uses current macOS and isn't a command-line/power user.

@unix_discussions great, just what the world needed—systemd with extra portability! Now BSD users can finally experience the joy of debugging 500+ services they never asked for. Truly, a victory for freedom!

I've made a fraction-based calculator, for simplifying rational expressions (written in ANSI-C using vi)

I was aiming to merge a scientific calculator with "bc", because I often need to simplify various fractions and whatnot. Quite happy with the result!

Uses shunting yard algorithm to evaluate the expressions, and a naive descent parser (I think?) to tokenise

Aside: OpenBSD's "editline" is very easy to use

Please ask any questions :)

I love the #fediverse! We have #furries, #linux and #BSD, beautiful photos and #airfryer advices :)

Breaking news: someone thought we needed yet another systemd fork, now available on BSDs and Linux! #InitWare lets you manage services as "units" because apparently the world was desperately missing #middleware that sounds like a weight-loss program.

You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks.

Despite some persistent rumors, installing OpenBSD is both quick and easy on most not too exotic hardware. But once the thing is installed, what is daily life with the most secure free operating system like?

Ich kann mich (noch) nicht entscheiden, womit ich ein Notebook für mich neu aufsetzen möchte.

Auf der Shortlist stehen
- GhostBSD
- Linux Mint
- Void Linux
- Windows 11

Ich hätte am liebsten ein System ohne systemd, mit aktuellen Paketen, einigermassen schnell und einfach aufgesetzt, mit Festplattenverschlüsselung und mit einem stabilen Update Prozess.

Was würdest Du nehmen?

Frage an die Linux/UNIX-Pros:

Was sind die grundlegenden (Softwarearchitektur-)Unterschiede zwischen Distributionen wie zB Debian und Arch und BSD?

Und worin liegen die jeweiligen Vor- und Nachteile der verschiedenen Architekturen?

BITTE erklärt es so, als müsstet ihr es einem 6-jährigen Kind erklären ;)
(Leichte Sprache)
