I mean what can't run NetBSD? I feel like we should start writing drivers in rumpkernels instead of writing drivers for our OS's.

It is interesting because we are getting a popular web browser on Mac to gnulinux. I am not a big fan of it though because it is nonfree.

You can't really decrappify browsers without first decrappifying the web.

I agree with this point a 100%. Wish something like Gemini would succeed (Gemini the protocol, not the google bot). The web is so bloated and "unprivate" if that is a word.

I kinda agree with him as an artist. It makes me sad to see people generate art with ai when they could've made a noobie drawing that will still be far much better than the ai one. Ai art can be so weird as well.

As the creator of the GNU Hurd community, I approve. Prepare everyone's old thinkpads or old dell laptops, and prepare some Ethernet cables.

I played SuperTuxKart before. Is pepper a mascot somewhere, or is it a character for SuperTuxKart?

GNU screen I am assuming? Or is this ratpoison? Whatever this is, I am in love with it.

Edit: I see it is tmux. Why does the fastfetch show xfwm4?

It could be, but it's now in the hands of the same evil corporations that made some guys start GNU and shit.

GNU was started because of a broken printer. Jokes aside, RMS got upset that the company that manufactured the printer could not give the source code for him to modify it to make the printer better. That is when he founded the gnu project and the fsf.

This is a concern I have as well. Normies are getting into Linux, or should I say GNU/Linux, without understanding the core concepts of Software Freedom. I feel Linux is has been ready a long time ago, but now Linux is more compatible with nonfree software. That is not really a positive thing. But atleast we are making a FLOSS OS more mainstream.

Gemini is probably going to go the way of the Hurd sadly, IMO. It is a niche that only privacy enthusiasts and FOSS enthusiasts wish to succeed. The Hurd is doing pretty good for how little people are working on it. If anyone is interested checkout my community, which is centered around the GNU Hurd.

Yeah it sucks that google coined the name after their ai chatbot. The first thing that comes to everyone when they hear the name gemini is that bot.

BSD actually heavily inspired crux, arch, and gentoo. The aur and portage were inspired by BSD ports. Now of course, I do not know which BSD did the inspiration.

I will check out more of your content. OpenBSD is a cool OS. What is your opinion on desktop OpenBSD?

There is pheonix, and it is written fully in zig. I think it is a X11 protocol built from scratch, but will include modern features like HDR and VRR. It will also become compatible with Wayland apps along the way. I do not know the status, and I did not do much research on it.
