minus-squareexhaust_fan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoDumb question but what’s a BSD? What’s the difference?
minus-squaregeoma@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoIt’s another libre operating system that is not GNU/linux
minus-squaregeoma@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoIts more of a niche. You probably won’t have the huge support you have on gnu/Linux nowadays
minus-squarescratchandgame@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkTiếng Việtarrow-up0·7 months ago“gnu/Linux nowadays” is unusable on old hardware (except distros like Alpine) I think?
minus-squaregeoma@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoThere 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

minus-squareexhaust_fan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoDude 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
minus-squarescratchandgame@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkTiếng Việtarrow-up1·7 months ago 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.
