Who here uses the BSDs? What do you use them for? Why do you prefer them?

I've got OpenBSD on my laptop and am thinking about NetBSD on my server. Going to set up an OpenBSD firewall as well

I'm already familiar with it from messing around on SDF and don't really see a reason not to use it

>that finder bar

eww. that's the main reason I don't use osx tbh. why can't each window have its own menubar like every other gui OS?

It's the main reason I use it. Why does each window need a menubar? How often are you using the menubar in background windows?

Not that guy but have used os x now and then and personally I find the finder bar is so much better than separate menu bars. Saves screen space.

Those are good points, but why isn't it at least an option? Is this just another ass-backwards Apple design decision like their one-button mice, or the myriad of proprietary ports and connectors they've introduced over the years?

Apple had this design before the design you're used to existed.

I use freeBSD as my desktop, no real special reason, I just like it and it does everything I need it to. It has great hardware optimization, a good package manager, and a cohesive OS instead of a bunch of shit hacked together like linux.

Nice meme, but you're behind the curve. FreeBSD implemented proper SMT support one year ago, and that applies to pfsense by extension.

Because it wastes space in the program window

Look at how clean the windows look

it's just the detach feature from terminal multiplexers

if you've used either screen or tmux you will know what this is

which is weird considering openbsd comes with tmux which makes installing it kind of pointless
