@FritzAdalis @fl0und3r @fence Granted, #OpenBSD usually removes #complexity and stuff that can't be #secured to their standards, and I do applaud them for that.
- Even tho it comes at the cost of a system that isn't easy to get started with, since one's experience and intuition from #Linux won't help one here...
That being said even tho I despise #Netflix, they moved to #FreeBSD as that cuts down on their specific hardware needs, which is ne net and gross positive for the world and #BSD's as they'll need less hardware, datacenter floorspace, cooling, power and thus reduce the impact of their business.
- Tho it's not because Netflix is envoirmentally concious or some other #greenwashing reason, but because their infrastructure is more expensive than personnel and cutting down 5% cost at that is saving them millions even if they pay their BSD engineers 10x to their Linux counterparts.
OFC for #commercial users, BSDs are always more preferable as #GPLv2 of #Linux would basically make it hard to do the "security by obscurity" part of #DRM & #CopyProtection they want on stuff like #GameConsoles.
- BSD is way more permissive and I do like that.
Sadly for many, Linux won for most "mainstream" applications to the point that outside nieche cases, it's a rounding error in statistics.
- That being said many innovations do get adopted where possible, like #OpenZFS support (tho AFAIK OpenBSD lacks that for the aforementioned complexity reasons)...
