Time to figure out how to cram NetBSD onto those fancy VPSes whose providers proudly support everything under the sun, as long as it's Linux 😉

Fellow Fediverse citizens and concerned Linux users.
How about going for TUI life.
Take for example this tiny Linux compatible kernel

👉 https://github.com/vvaltchev/tilck 👈

and make it grow as a serious project for anyone who is fine with using only console applications ?

Real retro.

@stefano I wouldn't be concerned too much for #Linux . The project has gone through much worse, but it's possible for this AI drama to end in a rollback or a fork war.

Linus is clearly going through a midlife crisis ATM. I don't blame him, he's never been perfectly stable, and this AI crap is driving many of us insane already..

This #AI stuff will likely calm down once the bubble bursts, AI companies backtrack/go broke, AI becomes unaffordable, and Linus is forced to touch grass once again.

a picture with the overall caption "open source in 2026" in the footer, showing two photos of a woman. the first photo shows her visibly and intensely disgusted next to the text "low-quality contributors from new developers". the second photo shows her with a suddenly curious inquiring and almost excited look, next to the text "low-quality AI contributions from long-time developers". the picture plays with the absurdity with how suddenly the woman's mood changes, the two pictures being implied to have been taken just seconds apart since they share the same lighting and background.

No dear #linux users none of the #bsd s is a drop in replacement for your favorite #distribution . Not every hardware under the sun is 100% supported.

Look at the hardware compatibility lists of the given projects before you set yourself up for frustrations.

#FreeBSD has the broadest mainstream hardware support.

Especially for #NetBSD read this first

Thinking about switching to #NetBSD to avoid #Linux #AI tainted kernel, and the thing that is worrying me most is package managers. I've been using #Debian and derivatives for about twenty years mainly because of its excellent package manager. Is there anything which does similar dependency tracking in the #BSD world?

Non l'ho ancora iniziato ma sembra molto interessante!

"Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment

In this course, students will learn to develop complex system-level software in the C programming language while gaining an intimate understanding of the Unix operating system (and all OS that belong to this family, such as Linux, the BSDs, and even Mac OS X) and its programming environment. "

TBF, my biggest concern about this whole #linux/#LLM meltdown thing finally reaching public visibility is actually that FreeBSD got a *mammoth* 250k grant from the Linux Foundation and suddenly FreeBSD decided AI was cool.

I run @netbsd and macOS/Darwin and I worry that the @FreeBSDFoundation I long have supported will suddenly go the way of Linux.

Bro, no. Cloud LLMs are a disaster waiting to happen. I didn't migrate to a solar DC just to watch my land become uninhabitable for your FOMO.

🎰 Linux kernel devs drop obligatory confession of AI tool usage

"The Maintainers Summit reached consensus to deprecate the Assisted-by Tag," said Sasha Levin, a Linux kernel developer and engineer at Nvidia, in a message to the Linux kernel mailing list last week. "Remove the documentation requiring it."

@Lazarou well, fwiw, some of us, already long on linux, are now so despondent at the wholesale slopbot invasion here, apparently welcomed with open arms, that the possibility of jumping to #FreeBSD or #NetBSD, or even a bespoke little curio like #Haiku, is now being seriously investigated. i fled windoze for linux in 2014, only first discovering it in december 2013, & it's been magical. i never imagined a day would come where it would be necessary to flee from linux 🥺😭

I've started the #HardenedBSD release engineering process to account for the #FreeBSD security advisories announced today.

I'll be including some other fixes, including the DNSSEC certificate pinning issue with hbsd-update and the mitigation for the #inotify vulnerability in #Linux that also is applicable to FreeBSD.

FreeBSD implemented a mitigation on 07 Oct 2026 with commit c2ac0db7150c53d3902dbe1c507d96cbacfcadc6 (devfs: Explicitly disable inotify).

I should have new builds published by the end of this weekend.

Absolutely! I daily-drive FreeBSD as my desktop OS, and it’s genuinely fantastic.

FreeBSD is more than capable of being a full-fledged desktop OS. People really need to move past the “servers only” stereotype.

The performance, stability, power efficiency, and ZFS integration make it a fantastic desktop experience! ❤

I know zero Linux.

There is praise of NetBSD, I’ve been wanting to shift an old laptop to Mint (still a long time before I can do this).
Linux has gone AI, but isn’t that all sorts of distributions, are all of them affected?
Does NetBSD have pretty options? The website suggests it is very utilitarian.

Sometimes I joke about this timeline being a dumpster fire, but then I see that an official Fortnite client is coming to Linux. Which ALSO means pigs HAVE learned how to fly. And I smile a bit...

(No, I don't play Fortnite, but the biggest game in the world finally getting official Linux support is a massive thing, and it WILL start a positive snowball effect.)

Anyway I just finished the (preliminary) #OpenZFS support patches for #Linux 7.4. I'll just hold on to it until at least 7.3 appears 🤷

"NetBSD seems to be thriving of late: as the Linux world goes pro-AI, some of the AI-averse are turning to this explicitly AI-free project.

The NetBSD project’s Mastodon feed reports that it received a record 120 donations last month, and it has far exceeded its target:

“We received $120,282 USD in total. Naturally, this has completely filled up our donations target bar which was set at $50,000. Time to fund some projects!”

It’s a welcome contrast to the usual stories of under-funded FOSS projects, and it follows a visible uptick in people asking about NetBSD in the FOSS Unix groups we read, ever since Emperor Penguin Torvalds said that Linux was not an anti-AI project back in July, and the following month, the Debian project polled its developers on AI use, and they chose to permit AI-generated contributions."

In a way I'm almost glad that Linus Torvalds is turning out to be such a turd (as if it weren't already possible to guess): single-handedly he might be doing more to wreck the privileged position that #Linux has held in amateur computing and thank heaven for that because it's likely to mean diversification in the field (in time) as more and more people get disgusted with the Linux scene and start agitating for alternatives. Linux really is the Microsoft Windows of hobby OSes, which isn't entirely a bad thing I admit

Will Linux phones become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly?

Amos B. Batto has published an incredibly detailed look at the state of Linux on smartphones. It's an excellent read you really shouldn't skip.
