Both the Linux kernel and systemd now contain slop or are open to adding slop.

@thomholwerda tough on the Linux part, but why systemd?

[fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social]

@thomholwerda GNU Hurd ?

[puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social]

@thomholwerda@exquisite.social freebsd

[joostvb@mastodon.green]

@thomholwerda welcome to bsd

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@thomholwerda 9front as main might come true soon

[thomholwerda@exquisite.social]

@catsalad I need to become worthy first

[thomholwerda@exquisite.social]

@nina_kali_nina Same, but gaming will remain a Linux thing (I guess I might as well just go Windows for gaming then).

FreeBSD is a no-go (they allow flashy X fork), NetBSD is amazing but a bit too limited, so OpenBSD, which I really like, remains.

[loebas@bark.lgbt]

@thomholwerda ReactOS is our only bet as it seems

[d4lt0n@infosec.exchange]

@thomholwerda Embrace BSD, my man. You could start with GhostBSD.

@thomholwerda refurbished/recycled hardware, and software from the year 2020 are good enough for _me_ The greatest, not the latest... maybe hat fits. or let's go back to nature. Nature we can trust, as long as it is there...

[thomholwerda@exquisite.social]

Honestly, why am I even Linux at this point? I use it to get away from proprietary garbage, but once you open the floodgates to slop, I fear the garbage will find a way.

I might as well just switch back to Windows and not deal with the gaming headaches Linux still presents. ‍️

@thomholwerda I'm planning to go outside and stay there

@thomholwerda The MacBook Neo is getting rave reviews. I use macOS. It has the best of both worlds.

[mustardfacial@infosec.exchange]

@thomholwerda *sigh*
*Dejectedly fires up FreeBSD box*

[thomholwerda@exquisite.social]

As for BSD... Time to make some people real mad: NetBSD is amazing but too limited for me, FreeBSD is entirely okay with letting fascist X forks in, which leaves OpenBSD, which I love and enjoy, but does come with serious limitations.

I want to want BSD, but I'm not sure I'm going to.

[thomholwerda@exquisite.social]

@praetor I'd rather rip my own fingernails off than use macOS. Trashfire doesn't even begin to describe it.

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@thomholwerda ThomOS when?

[ouij@mastodon.social]

@thomholwerda the only real gaming headache on Linux for me any more is kernel-level anti-cheat--which is not really an issue for me as I don't play any of those games.

I like using Linux because I can set it up more or less how I want, and then change it.

[ouij@mastodon.social]

@praetor @thomholwerda Macbook Neo would be my default recommendation for a normie that does not game and just needs *laptop* for *laptop stuff.* A lot of the pain points are for nerds like me and not really relevant or even discoverable by a lot of users. At the price point, it's a no-brainer.

[hp@mastodon.tmm.cx]

@thomholwerda I think with Linux we still get the option to fork if quality falls due to slop.

For me, personally, Linux still seems like the only sane option.

I trust Linus to not let slop into the kernel, and people will fork systemd I'm sure.

But I don't like it either.
