I don't use a Slack Client but the Web one, and i don't use Spotify.
>Well, there's one reason to use Linux, lol
True, you have a point to compare two proprietary Blobs, oh BTW is Adobe and nearly ever AAA-Game supporting Linux or do you need Wine/Proton (that Windows not emulator) thing?
And to be clear a LinuxJail is actually NOT using the Linux Kernel but the GNU-Userland ;) so no Linux present, Wine is the ~same as a LinuxJail from your viewpoint...but without isolation ;)
Linux (Wine):
Windows -> Linux SystemCall-translator
FreeBSD (Linxulator):
Linux -> FreeBSD SystemCall-translator
With more or less your Words:
>Well, there's one reason to use Windows (Wine), lol - to run all the apps on Linux that Linux doesn't support.
> I don't use a Slack Client but the Web one, and i don't use Spotify.
The comment you were replying to was talking in general terms so I thought you were as well.
> And to be clear a LinuxJail is actually NOT using the Linux Kernel but the GNU-Userland
Huh, that means even less stuff will run. I thought it was more than just an emulation layer.
> To be short, double lol
Not sure what this means. Long and short of it is though the original commenter was right IMO. The BSDs are generally the OS of hobbyists and sometimes contrarians, and it doesn't make sense these days when there are better options in most situations. If often makes as much sense as running Hurd or P9.
OK? Someone said what about apps that only run on Linux, you mentioned you run them in a linux jail.
I like the BSD, mainly Net, but I don't try to force them to be a desktop OS when they are not suited for that, and so don't try running Linux stuff under them.
Besides, even it's it's an emulation layer, you're still basically running the linux userland, and we both know the FreeBSD kernel isn't significantly different or better for most desktop uses.
> Since you know best what makes sense (by not knowing what FreeBSD even can and the difference between emulation and translation) perfect self-report.
Oh, I'm perfectly familiar with FreeBSD. I just don't try and use it as a desktop OS for the sake of being different. You might like it just fine, and maybe you're doing some tinkering with something BSD adjacent so it makes sense to run it. But objectively for most users and cases, it's the inferior option for desktop computing.
You're here trying to argue it's as good or better than Linux, if I haven't misunderstood your position, and I don't think that's something you can support at all. You can give up if you like, but it won't be because I thought linux support on FreeBSD was more than an emulation layer, it will be because you can't support your position.
How's 802.11ax and 802.11av support? Bluetooth work fine? Realtime audio multiplexing? What if you want to run a newer game and the FreeBSD version of Wine hasn't backported enough support yet?
There's so many apps and hardware that won't work well on FreeBSD, or won't work at all, because making it work isn't a priority of the project. That's just a fact.
Ha, just after you last said:
> That's funny because i don't even know a reason to use Linux these days.
Well, there's one reason to use Linux, lol - to run all the apps on BSD that BSD doesn't support.
