Ask HN: Does FreeBSD Have a Future? 3 years ago
Linux has the opposite problem of BSD.
Linux has a collaborative unified kernel and a fragmented distro and package manager ecosystem.
BSD has unified distros with userspace, package manager, and fragmented kernels NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS etc.
I would love to know what it would take to get unified a BSD kernel and singular base distro.
I like the idea of having a BSD type OS that is not ruled by an oligarchy or big industry like Linux appears to be.
Sadly a BSD desktop/laptop user experience has way too many gaps on modern hardware to be useable. Linux is an easy choice today and has most cutting edge features supported.
