Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.

Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!

As a Barista at BSD Cafe, I'm also an admirer of tea – a metaphor for my appreciation of the good features of other operating systems. And the fact that I like and support BSDs doesn't mean I don't appreciate those other solutions.
For example, #SmartOS, #OmniOS, and #Tribblix are superb examples of well-crafted operating systems.

Similarly, #Linux - #openSUSE Tumbleweed-based desktops give me a lot of satisfaction every day.

The foundation of my passion for Open Source also stems from the ability to study, explore, and choose without constraints or restrictions. It's that sense of freedom that drives me to appreciate the good in every solution.

If and when I feel caged or forced, all of that vanishes.

How hard can it be? That question led to a #WebAssembly adventure at #oSC25, featuring music tech, retro vibes, and real-world lessons on porting apps like #LGPT across devices! From handhelds to the browser, this one’s for the tinkerers. #openSUSE#WASMhttps://youtu.be/pq-04MlLAnM?si=m4y_MdO-dkh7wV11

Version 4.9.0 of #syslog_ng is now available. Among others it adds:
- #Prometheus exporter
- more efficient file/directory monitoring on #Linux
- #FreeBSD audit source
Read more at https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.9.0
Packages for #Debian / #Ubuntu / #openSUSE / #Fedora & #EPEL are available.

Every time I set up a new laptop with #opensuse #tumbleweed #linux, I am so excited about the power of #opensource. The little refurbished #lenovo#T14s I got only took 5 minutes to install from an old USB stick. I swear that I needed more time to unpack, locate an Ethernet cable and find my way in the BIOS to set up USB boot than the system itself took for installing. Awesome.

Anybody talking about #Win11#Windows11 #microsoft Well, folks, Linux hardware will become much cheaper now.

After 2+ years in Fedora Silverblue, it's time to kick the tires on OpenSUSE Aeon, by which I mean a bare-metal install on my main laptop

I am very ready for:

* Fully automatic updates
* Rolling (No version upgrades)
* Distrobox by default -- and automatically upgraded
* Full disk encryption with TPM 2.0

Doing backups and making the boot USB stick now

So after multiple power losses yesterday; and multiple instances of btrfs log tree corruption yesterday. AND swapping out kernels and simulating power failures this morning. I've got a lot of anecdotal evidence that Liquorix Kernel 6.15.5 has something odd going on with how either the timing of it writing it's log tree on my NVME, or it's failing to flush the write of the log tree on my NVME.

Lets just say, im going back to openSUSE's vanilla kernel for the rest of my openSUSE adventure. #linux #btrfs#openSUSE #Liquorix
