Is it time to retire BSD in all its forms? I mean, it's becoming a joke like Minix at this point. Google is coming out with a new OS called Fuchsia and Andromeda, so BSD is completely fucked.
I think it's time for BSD to become history.
Should the BSDs be retired?

I think it's time for OP to stop being a faggot.
Sadly we don't always get what we want.

this.
however:
i was once a bsd hobbyist.
during the past few years i have not really had the time for hobbyist computing.
lately i've found myself with a bit more free time and i want to put a server together and host my own website form home.
my impression is that bsd is not as popular as it was a few years ago.
can anyone comment on this?
Asher Ramirez
It's not as popular as it was a few years ago.
Levi Nelson
BSDs haven't really been popular in a long time, not since GNU/Linux took off. They've mostly fallen back to servers and workstations.
Sebastian Williams
that was actually intended for
Tyler Anderson
Yes, that is what I said, in different words.
Carson Brooks
linux never seemed that fun to me.
is Greg Lehey's book (the Complete FreeBSD) still relevant?
so far i've installed freebsd 10 on vmware and i noticed there's a 'new' installer
right now i'm just fucking around with it to see what i remember
Oliver Nelson
Yahoo used to sponsor FreeBSD development many years ago but now they just use Linux and Windows server. However, BSD is still used to some extent by Apple and Sony.

Darwin is BSD

Playstation is BSD
Ryan Taylor
OS X, iOS, Playstation/Vita OS

No it is not. Those are proprietary forks.
Josiah Brown
Why are you so butthurt that you can't even go to BSD's wikipedia page
Daniel Sanchez
this that's why the duck wears the horns & holds the pitchfork
Sebastian Harris
Do you know what a fork is...?

You can probably still use a lot of it but there's likely going to be stuff it misses because it was published like 13 years ago.
There's Absolute FreeBSD which is somewhat newer.
Chase Hill
If it has closed source elements it's not helping keep BSD alive, figgot.
Lincoln Hernandez
>because it was published like 13 years ago.
hah, yes that did cross my mind as i was thumbing through it recently
i also have a copy of this >Absolute FreeBSD
i have to admit that i have a fondness for Lehey's book - i found it easy to understand when i knew nothing at all about 'unix'
Angel Sanders
Nobody said anything about proprietorship or forking. Just admit you done goofed.

If anyone is getting fucked because of Google it will be Linux.

BSD is dying you nigger. Just admit it. I was aware of its limited, and shrinking, use cases.

What does this have to do with your original dumbass response?
Isaac Harris
In order to develop on top of something, the bottom needs to be stable.
Jason Edwards
What if they dual license it?
Darwin isn't the same as what Apple uses for Mac OS anymore and PS4 OS is closed source. Niggers tongue my anus.
So? Apple has enough money to do their own thing now.

Posting from a FreeBSD laptop. It really just werks. Enjoy your systemd cancer.

Darwin is the kernel for OS X ...
user, if you really want to beat a dead horse try Solaris or Amiga
Josiah Robinson
Why would they retire it? There are still people willing to work on the project. And BSD projects are not for profit, so they continue as long as there are people interested in them.
You as a user may retire it from your own assets but I don't see the point of retiring it from developer's perspective.
James Robinson
Darwin is the entire "base system" of OSX. OSX is Darwin + proprietary components, mostly the graphical interface/widget toolkit stuff. The kernel of OSX and Darwin is XNU
Levi Miller
both sony and apple DO give back to the bsd's, you know that right
would be too hard to merge back changes otherwise
Lincoln Torres
>workstations.
That's solaris. BSD wasn't used on workstation, but you can link one case.
Jayden Clark
It's dead.

From the low level it's seen as darwin
Chase Perry
all Solaris does is run oracle listeners now it's anything but a workstation
Chase Butler
And Mach and this argument is totally unrelated apple forked it (very) long ago.
Netflix and whatsapp runs BSD. Everything else is bullshit or BSD is a gaming platform? Even openttd is dumbed down on OpenBSD.
Easton Price
Your shitposting is most likely running through a BSD box

Sunrays at fag department will suddenly became servers or what?
Josiah Sullivan
Are you sure you're not confusing Solaris with OEL
Grayson Thompson
Totally.

What? What does Google have at all to do with BSDs or their usage?

No it's based on XNU.
