Cool. Then many more people would switch from Linux to BSDs instead. Which is better.
Dumb question but what's a BSD? What's the difference?
It's another libre operating system that is not GNU/linux
wjy would it be better
Its more of a niche. You probably won't have the huge support you have on gnu/Linux nowadays
"gnu/Linux nowadays" is unusable on old hardware (except distros like Alpine) I think?
There are a bunch of distros focused on old hardware compatibility. I often install Linux on 32 bit laptops from around 2008 and they work perfectly
It's not necessarily better, some things are a personal preference. Though some might be able to list some technical pros and cons.
Some things I appreciate are:
That research is much easier than figuring out what is computer's "stack" without using my first language!
Dude I'm a beginner struggling to learn Linux because there are so many options, so few good explanations, and people like you only want to patronize me
I just want a tldr
so few good explanations
What a lack of documentation. On BSDs we didn't suffer that.
I just want a tldr
BSD is an operating system. It diverged into FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
Of course only correct selection is TempleOS.
I don't think its power is comparable to research unix :)
