Not going to be the year of BSD. I have been a Linux user for almost 40 years. For much of that time, Linux was only for the hard core. Only in the last few years has Linux been usable for the masses. BSD is still decades behind Linux. It is not ready for the casual user...yet. I hope it gets there. We need all the alternatives to corporate OSes we can get.

@BoloMKXXVIII @ilja_tihhonov @itsfoss i used GhostBSD for a while. It works Fine for common things like browsing or LibreOffice. But it can be tricky, wenn you need some specials. So i switched to LMDE and i‘m looking at Fedora right now.

@DazRunner @itsfoss Right, all the constant ethics violations, consumer rights trampling, mass surveillance, anti right to repair practices, billions spent on lobbying against consumer interests, always just happens to perfectly coincide with the election cycle.

And I have a very lightly used bridge to sell you.

@Zundown3r @ilja_tihhonov @itsfoss
I've tested GhostBSD too. Probably the easiest BSD, but still a long way from being a daily driver.

No. I do not agree. Without the #foss community wich makes #ubuntu et al possible and souvereign productive environments, noone has the possibility to realize that #windows et al are such Intrusive and power-abusive crap.

@itsfoss Mint did nothing wrong.

@DukeDuke And how it runs Zorin at the MS surface? Any incompatibility?

[dukeduke@mastodon.social]

@andrewblasco It's a bit buggy, but mostly fine. The touchscreen has a mind of it's own at times, responding only when it feels like it. Same for the stylus. I'm keeping a small wireless mouse plugged in so I can use it to get stuff done as needed. The cameras don't work at all, but I always kept them covered with electrical tape anyway, so no loss for me. The on-screen keyboard can be a bit challenging to bring up at times as well. It fits my current needs, but I may look beyond Zorin.

@DukeDuke Thanks!

@itsfoss you compare positive influence versus negative e.g big tech commerce . My 50ct is most simply the internet itself promoted Linux far more than other “influencer”

@tiramisu @itsfoss MacOS is Unix, not Linux

[spooky_jana@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss Honestly yeah i switched to CachyOS because my Hardware apparently doesn't support WIn11, will never look back best experience ever.
