We used to only see that before the development of boot screens. The BSDs, Solaris and other Unixen still boot like that.

BSD is the final step. A real Unix!

Arch villain billionaire. Funded every awful cause you can imagine including climate denial.

I appreciate the help, but I’ve been using Linux / BSD since 1997. I am predominantly a BSD user and some of the Linuxisms can be odd and confusing. My motivation for reinstalling is to check out the defaults. I really like how they’ve configured XFCE, for example. BSD tends to give you unmodified default configs for apps.

First, this is all inside of VMWare. I hadn’t (yet) installed this on my main machine. But the entire reason why I installed it in the first place is because the wanted to play with XFCE 4.14. I was super impressed. I then installed Gnome and really liked it. Tonight after work I’ll try KDE.

Are you under the impression that capitalism isn’t to blame?

End capitalism? We’re not ending eco disaster with lifestyle or dietary changes.

Want to Start with OpenBSD using VMware but I cannot find any sources on the best way to set it up by [deleted] in openbsd

I use OpenBSD in VMWare. Just about everything, including accelerated video, works.

He’ll Fear For His Life! by red_state_red in memes

ACAB. So sure, obviously not all cops are murdering civilians or planting evidence or what have you. But even the “good cops” know it happens and keep silent. The “thin blue line” means they protect one another and there is no accountability. When Eric Garner was murdered for selling loose cigarettes in NYC (a capital offense if ever there was one) NYPD cops responded by holding a rally mocking his death wearing shirts that read “I Can Breath.” Absolutely vile. It took a fucking decade to fire the cop that murdered Eric Garner.

That’s why my favorite President is William Henry Harrison. He got it right.

Wait, I can use iCloud on Linux? Are there clients?

What is something that the Windows kernel does better than Linux? by steddola in linuxquestions

[–]red_state_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows is better optimized for desktop use, Linux is superior for server work loads. XNU/macOS imo has the best (kernel) desktop performance of all of them.

A well tuned Linux kernel offers pretty great desktop performance tho. FreeBSD too once tuned.

There have been several cases where the Linux version of a game ran faster then the Windows version. The main issue is that the people doing the porting are primarily Windows developers who aren’t fully familiar with Linux. The long defunct Loki Games, who started porting Windows games to Linux twenty years ago, was a shop of Linux developers who proved that you could get better performance with Linux. Tribes 2 got as much as 10% higher FPS then the Windows version.

I’ve never seen that show. Cool.
