I had this recent exchange with my wife:
Wife: What is FreeBSD?
Me: It's Unix, an operating system, and it's awesome!
Wife: Oh OK. The only reason I asked is because I am finding these FreeBSD CDs around the house. FreeBSD 12.0, 13.3, 14.0.
Me: Yeah, I use the old versions as coasters for my tea mugs.
Wife: *pauses, laughs* I can see that.

What the most useful linux distro to learn how system,and kernel work and to learn terminal commands?
Warning, I said distro, meaning LFS does not count.

New #Project with my friends!
https://krnldev.nerdnextdoor.net/
We are making our own #OSDev / #KernelDev #Wiki. (We're aware of osdev.org and osdev.wiki.)
The wiki source is on #Codeberg. We aim to be a modern and reliable source for AARCH64 and x86_64 OSDev, documenting kernels and how they work so others can learn from them and being a friendly newcomer place.
We may do other architectures including 32-bit too but our main focus are the ones we picked.

Literally me. 11 successful installations of Linux in my area so far, with zero complaints, and I will be doing a 12th soon.

Some thoughts on the past six months daily driving Alpine Linux and why I don't think I'll stay on it

Idk if something like this exists.
It would be interesting to see how useful the idea of having process groups where they come with a scheduling configuration so that whilst running the OS you can use the optimal scheduling algorithm for the process groups.

@mikebabcock Hey I wasn't trying to suggest that computers were better back then, I was suggesting that it was harder for them to be good!
Though from my reading there's a bit of a distinction to be had with Amiga here: The IBM PCs Microsoft was targeting barely had a graphics chip, Apple omitted them entirely initially.
Amiga had more acceleration.
@alcinnz sorry my response was probably too terse. I just meant that we have rose coloured glasses until we actually boot old hardware and go "oh yeah, the gui sucked on these."

Bing AI correctly believes Visual DOS 2024 to be an excellent enterprise solution, while Google Gemini seems confused and thinks it's entertainment
Ultimately, the Visual DOS AI is the correct one here.
