/prog/ - Linux vs. BSD

Name: Anonymous 2010-02-18 3:33

Honest question (I know it's 4chan and /prog/ and all, but still, I figured I would try): Why BSD and not Linux? And no, I'd rather not ask the Windows zealots over at /g/.

I've just happened to notice some hate for Linux (or ``GNU/Linux'' if your name is rms) around here, so I assume some flavor of BSD is what a number of said individuals are running. But why? Why is Linux so bad? And I'd like to honestly know why, not just something like ``LOL VIRAL GPL IS VIRAL,'' but from a technical standpoint, is it that bad of a system compared to *BSD? I admit I'm no ENTERPRISE developer, but I've always been able to find programs and tools to suit whatever I want to do on my Linux system, and it seems solid enough.

Get out of your blind fanboyism. You don't need an actual Mac to run OS X these days!

Uhh... Macs have the exact same problems (no AviSynth, no VSFilter, no CoreAVC).

Personally I think playback on other platforms isn't an issue nowadays, but for encoding you've got yourself quite a bit of pain.

BSD to my knowledge is not updated nearly as often as linux, but then again, I've never tried really using it.

What's with all of the unimaginative * MY ANUS posts? I'm not completely against anus haxing, but that was just terrible.
