Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System"

  Well, the PC isn’t used only as a DAW, so I might still need Linux as opposed to FreeBSD. I’ve been running some form of Linux for a long time, now.

  If you’re of the “advanced user” kind, you might find it easier to use than Linux - cleaner, much better documentation, ports collection, ZFS without pain or any combination of GEOM classes with UFS (which has snapshots here btw). It’s a different OS, but a very pleasant one. Same X (or Wayland), same applications, etc.

  One can also use Linux emulation with CentOS 7 or Rocky Linux 9 environment for Linux binaries.

  Don’t even know what it is, actually.

  It’s a descendant of BSD, and things like Ultrix and SunOS 4 were BSD, so one can say it’s the most commonly used thing of what feels like Unix today (after Linux).

  OK, I think this reads like sales text.

    Haha! No, I understand. I rave about something I like, too, and then immediately feel like a salesperson or something. I’m not a power user exactly, but I can usually figure things out pretty quickly and have no trouble typing commands into a terminal and slinging a little code. I’ll have to look into what kind of audio people are doing in Linux and see where it takes me.
