Dendrobatus Azureus<p>A nice post about switching from a Linux distribution to freeBSD.</p><p>Quote <br>&gt;&gt;<br>The interesting thing here is that both are similar and yet very different, mainly owing to their very different histories, with freeBSD being a direct derivative of the original UNIX and its BSD derivative. One of the most significant differences is probably that Linux is just a kernel, with (usually) the GNU/Hurd userland glued on top of it to create GNU/Linux. GNU and BSD userland are similar, and yet different, with varying levels of POSIX support. This effectively means that freeBSD is a singular OS with rather nice documentation (the FreeBSD handbook).</p><p>The basic summary here is that freeBSD is rather impressive and easy to set up for a desktop, especially if you use a customized version like GhostBSD. <br>&gt;&gt;</p><p><a href="https://hackaday.com/2025/06/29/switching-from-desktop-linux-to-freebsd/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hackaday.com/2025/06/29/switch</span><span class="invisible">ing-from-desktop-linux-to-freebsd/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPL</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kernel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kernel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ghostBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ghostBSD</span></a> </p><p>^Z</p>
