     @takao @verita84_automata Because it was the cheapest shit at Fry's when I bought this video card.

     I think it was $50 about ten or fifteen years ago. I need a thing that puts words on the screen and will show me porn and do accelerated 2D fast enough that my SNES emulator doesn't stutter. I'm not running a mining rig.

     @p @verita84_automata @takao I would be using openbsd rn if it had gpu support for its kvm.

     @p @verita84_automata @takao You just run fsck if something does not work, it works quite well.

     @dcc @takao @verita84_automata I like it but no journaling FS and I have seen it break too many times.

     It fixes the FS but you end up with orphaned inodes, and this includes files that weren't open in directories that weren't open. I have pulled files out that were busted things in /etc and then gave up when I found some of the Postgres files and some libraries: some programs will complain if some files are missing, but a missing config file for some of them means to just use the defaults. A filesystem does that to me once, and I don't want to touch it. I think the other BSDs have journaling filesystems and I'll have to figure it out if I switch there.

     @p @verita84_automata @takao Even journal files system have fucked me over (like just a few days ago) some of my libs are just missing atm. Having to backup data is the most important it seems.

     You just listed two very good fs's lol, zfs is not bad for desktop usage at all lol.

     @p @dcc @verita84_automata @takao Filesystems are possibly the biggest con of BSDs when comparing them to Linux.
     
     FreeBSD has UFS(2) which doesn't have a journal and ZFS which isn't ideal for desktop usage.
     NetBSD has UFS(2) and that's it.
     OpenBSD is the same.
     And Dragonfly has HAMMER which probably is a journaled filesystem, but I couldn't find any info on that.

     @dcc @takao @verita84_automata Yeah, "can fuck up" versus "every time the machine loses power". This box that I had that constantly locked up, I had some OpenBSD VMs and every single time it happened, they were broken. Eventually they got replaced with Debian or Slackware VMs. I would really like to use Theo's OS, but if it is going to do that kind of thing, I can't.

     (I think HAMMER is journaled, but I do not recall and have not used dfly in a long time.)

     Its a pretty cool fs, it also has snapshots.

     @p @phnt @takao @verita84_automata Now that i am thinking about it, i dont member if dragon fly has bhyve but if i does that means i could think about using that to (since it bhyve has gpu passthough support) I don't really care to use free bsd is the only reason i don't want to switch.

     That would be fun. Let me know what audio software works on it. I would be intrigued if Mixxx works because it was ass on FreeBSD.

     Hey OpenBSD has a fantastic audio/mic interface, I know of atleast one podcast that uses it.

     @charlie_root @dcc @phnt @takao @verita84_automata dfly is kind of tuned for some specific purposes; maybe that's changed since I used it but I would be kind of surprised if it's very friendly to that kind of purpose.

     @charlie_root @dcc @phnt @takao @verita84_automata Well, I don't know what that has to do with DragonFly but the only thing that prevents me from touching OpenBSD is the stupid filesystem.
