   BSDs or even Plan9 are becoming a more viable option for me on a monthly basis. The level of politics and shooting itself in the foot Linux does is increasing rapidly. Not to mention how LF has become a complete and utter joke.

     @sally @phnt there are no proprietary bits in FreeBSD, as far as I'm aware.

     This is one of the detailed critiques that I found.

     I doubt it would've been great unless they ditched proprietary bits altogether, which they (much like the rest of BSDtards) insist it's not true, despite the evidence being right there.

     @sally @phnt naah.. freebsd could've been great, if the people behind it hadn't fucked everything up back in the 90s.

     The only good contributions FreeBSD has made to the broader public are kernel exploits that allow breaking digital handcuffs on PlayStation consoles.

     @phnt that CoC incident resulted in several old time developers leaving the project, citing that FreeBSD Foundation should spend money on actual development and improvement of the OS instead of stupid virtue signalling. If you think Linux is fucked, FreeBSD is even worse.
     
     But the main problem with FreeBSD is that it's dead and irrelevant.

     @newt Yeah, I know about that. There was also a somewhat big drama in FreeBSD about GamerGate I think. Although I don't like the idea of CoCs, FreeBSD at least did not go beyond that and I do not see major shenanigans in it's community every few months like it is on the Linux side. Probably because it isn't as popular and big enough for the corporate sponsors to poison it with their ideology.

     @phnt just a reminder, FreeBSD people hired "diversity consultants" to help them draft their CoC and paid them around $30k, while the dude who actually worked on FreeBSD to add AWS support was asking for donations on Patreon.
