I was thinking about this after testing the new version of macOS and damn the article sucks.

In macOS 15 the firewall is broken and still not fixed, problems and inconsistencies with tccutil, there are still network leaks even if you use a VPN, just like that.

While it is true some of the things he says about Linux, in practice all these security measures that Macos and Windows claim to have are just nice slides.

I forgot to comment that OpenBSD is the most secure operating system that exists (if you need that level of security).

Here you have also a list of all the innovations brought by

OpenBSD:

And here why it is the most secure operating system in the world:

https://www.openbsd.org/security.html

I have been a BSD user for almost 30 years, I have spent times where I liked BSD more and others more Linux, I have used BSD for years in production servers with 0 problems, especially web servers and data servers with ZFS (The best integration of ZFS has FreeBSD) lately I had something abandoned since I have codigo the taste to the immutable distributions of linux, but seeing as the shit of systemd increases and the political nonsense of Linus, BSD again knocks on my door.

Nevertheless a good Linux distro is still better than Macos and Windows.

I've always had a fondness for Debian, it mostly just works. I've never tried a BSD, but I'm running laptops not servers.

FreeBSD has good driver support, though obviously not Linux.

you can use debian inside of qubes os. But it needs a decent cpu and 16gb ram to be convenient. gpu is useless.

Oh man my PC hardware is ancient. 4GB 😂

I remember running UNIX in 4mb 😅

if every radio chipset and cpu has backdoors to read ram pages, it’s hard to know what to do other than open source or DIY or retro 🤷‍♂️ #shitnado the whole way down

openbsd is great but underfunded. Excellent base system. Ports often outdated or unmaintained.

Debian and deploying hardening tactics is about as solid a decision a Linux user can make.

Any idea how well FreeBSD works on an old macbook air circa 2010s?

So Linus is being a muppet eh?

I guess I'll give one of the BSDs a go again.

What do you reckon about this distro Cyph3rp9nk? Less of a headache with hardware that doesn't work out of the box?

Basically it is a FreeBSD with a nice installer and some applications that make your life easier.

In BSD there is no such thing as a Linux distribution, fortunately.
