Nothing. OP is being an idealogue that is doing a disservice to new users.

Snap can be undesirable for some, but honestly Ubuntu works very well for beginners and arguably has a more intuitive gnome interface by default.

Even then it is 200 series and up. 100 and back through to 900 will still not just work at this stage.

OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD all support or are planning to support Wayland.

[–] Audacity9961@feddit.ch 1 points 2 years ago

FreeBSD runs Wayland just fine. I run it on one of my boxes.

OpenBSD is also working on Wayland support.

NetBSD I'm unsure of, as their development pace is quite slow.

[–] Audacity9961@feddit.ch 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, FreeBSD already allows running Wayland. On my FreeBSD box, I have run it just fine.

OpenBSD are also working towards it.

I'm not sure about NetBSD.

That's exactly the case.

You are describing a different scenario to myself here though.

There is nothing wrong with helping to direct people to the manual of course if it is genuinely of use.

There are many who are not as friendly as you in my experience who use these queries more a flex of their perceived superiority than any genuine attempt to be helpful.

It is these people who view arch as some sort of elite status symbol that makes them superior geniuses that are toxic.

Mostly to learn about it's unique selling points.

I think it is very interesting in terms of the easy deployment of specific environments, and in terms of writing recipes for new packages.

Having said that, outside of these two rather niche areas for home use, I think it is rather unintuitive and offers no real advantages over more established players that offer a more polished experience, like Fedora for workstation and gaming use.

Is there something that attracts you to NixOS for that purpose?

I've got Nix OS running on one of my computers, and honestly, haven't found it to be particularly notable for those usecases.

What is your usecase?

This is the key question.

While I don't mind BSDs, that would lead to even worse outcomes though in my view. Companies wouldn't even have to release the source code, and they routinely don't.

What we need is more copyleft to ensure companies contribute back to the communities they leach from, not less.

How would BSD help in this situation? I'm not sure I follow.
