    @drj @nina_kali_nina I don't know how to grade this (is it the SysV/BSD split?), but I'd bet good money on Solaris being less gay, just by being owned by Oracle.

    @mhd @drj I'd say Solaris on SPARC is very gay in 2026, even if it wasn't sexy in 2006

      @pawv I think it just means they're almost equally queer

          @nina_kali_nina can't speak firsthand to its gayness, but Haiku seems like it might fit your other criteria

            @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt @joe@f.duriansoftware.com

            Security is one factor. OpenBSD prides itself on it, but I wouldn't say it's particularly ahead of Linux overall in a practical, well-configured scenario. NetBSD is considerably less audited, and a C3 talk about BSD security was... scathing on it.

            Software availability is another. Spent a non-trivial amount of time getting Minecraft to run on NetBSD. In general, more things will break, and there will be fewer documented fixes - unless you only use FOSS, and even then.

            I recall OpenBSD having some performance issues at the time when running IntelliJ, which I think were fixable with enough tuning but I never got that far.

            But I welcome trying it - it was certainly a valuable and fun experience until I realized more things work out of the box on Linux.

              @slava @nina_kali_nina illumOS might fit the bill too. but it sounds like the devs are pretty LLM-happy these days

                @joe @nina_kali_nina haiku is absolutely a queer operating system, there was even a post about it https://web.archive.org/web/20160324131651/https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/nielx/2010-04-11_haiku_has_no_future

                  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

                    @netbsd @nina_kali_nina Absolutely based. That's a follow and a boost upwards in the list of OSes I like.

                      @mrmasterkeyboard @nina_kali_nina Don't know if I'd go as far as calling it based, it's a fairly basic stance. We have trans developers. They shouldn't suffer.
