Oomfies, what's more gay? The winner is likely going to be my desktop OS. Others ideas are welcome, as long as it's fairly usable, open source and not Linux
@nina_kali_nina OomfBSD -

@nina_kali_nina
netbsd is queer in the sense that their social media page reposts people who install it on their 20yo Wii

@nina_kali_nina fairly usable and bsd?

@nina_kali_nina ... now that you made me think about it, OpenBSD looks gayer, but NetBSD looks queerer...

@nina_kali_nina Super curious how your experience goes. I've gotten BSD-curious in the past and these were the two I settled on as what I might want to use.
But then, you know, learning a new system and everything. I just didn't have the spoons for it at the time.

@nina_kali_nina why not FreeBSD? It’s a while since I last looked at BSDs, but I believe FreeBSD was the more desktop oriented one, that and Dragonfly.
IMHO NetBSD is kind of a “research” project these days. Not sure anyone uses it in anger, or as a desktop OS.

@nina_kali_nina can't speak firsthand to its gayness, but Haiku seems like it might fit your other criteria
@joe @nina_kali_nina I’ve used it before, very gay

@nina_kali_nina fairly usable and bsd?
@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt @Kierkegaanks@beige.party
try apple os. good gui over some variant unix. most polished distro but has creepy hardware reqs.

@nina_kali_nina HaikuOS? it starts getting software now with QT (I think)

@nina_kali_nina i'm used to openbsd but i'd say it boils down to what is your desktop computer and what drivers would it need, also the differences in the package selection
filesystem wise i think netbsd may have some more stuff ? bsds certainly don't have near the linux support sadly (also a hatred for journaling)
also they're near getting new versions i think (very waiting for netbsd 11 for the wii, will have to update many to openbsd 7.9 also) -

@nina_kali_nina This is like asking which shovel is more like a love sonnet.
(For the record, I voted NetBSD because they have greater platform diversity, which seems philosophically gayer?)

@joe it might, but I fear for safety/security etc etc. It's a primary machine after all

@nina_kali_nina and as for gayness, well, they’re all as gay as you make them!

@nina_kali_nina I did not expect this. Does that mean it's straight, or is everyone gay?
-
@zvava that IS true but I feel like I'm a bit too old to learn a non-Unix. Last time I tried to use it I couldn't imagine daily drive it
-
@nina_kali_nina FreeBSD? Is that still a thing? Saw a screenshot once, and wanted to fuck it.

@WiteWulf @nina_kali_nina FreeBSD allows slop contributions

@WiteWulf @nina_kali_nina wasn't FreeNAS based on FreeBSD - that was rock solid to me for a good decade

@abmurrow I have an OpenBSD on my $50 Chromebook and it's pretty nice. But I'm a bit conflicted on their apolitical-ness stance. NetBSD in this aspect seems to be far more political
