I’ve been running OpenBSD since 2.8. I’ve only met one other BSD user in real life and they were baffled to why I’d run it as a workstation OS. Sometimes I am too.

Mine’s sister from the next litter lives next door. She gets depressed if she can’t see her. Whimpers to be let out when she knows she’s outside. She is indifferent about their unrelated dog. Anecdotal, and not exactly the same thing but it made me wonder that too.

Hahah. At least you learned some things. Took me a few goes after thinking I was slick having stage 2 down pat. Then tried some BSDs and was humbled again.

My SO in regards to our late cat: “I love Tuna but she’d sell me for a handful of Temptations”. Rest in peace gentle, but onery little void.

Not sure if you’d gain all that much with your level of experience. LFS might be a better starting point. However, after suggesting doing a stage 2 to a few that were eager to learn more (even though they’d been using it for a very long time), it was generally a positive experience. If you go through the guide I’m sure you’d be able to tell quickly whether it would be useful.

But seriously - if you do want to see the inner workings, perform a Gentoo stage 2 to dip your toes in. LFS after if you’re feeling dangerous. Then things will start to come together. But maybe do it on a spare machine… You can/will break things and you will need a fallback to do research. Don’t bother if you don’t care to read manuals, it’s not easy and can be frustrating.

I don’t miss trying to figure out the often undocumented frequencies so X11 wouldn’t nuke them, and some CRTs were horrible, but games made for CRT on a nice Sony are like nothing else. I regret getting rid of my collection for a move.

The first couple sentences are highly alarming. I’d definitely need to know how that happened before plunking my possibly vulnerable code on another OS and assuming that will solve the issue.

But the rest, yeah, i agree. It’s just simpler and has so many built-ins out of the box.

If they really got rid of the old guard mgmt…that is extremely good news. They seemed hell-bent on killing the game. Heck, they did. Was like being gaslit the whole time as a player.
