linux rules because it's the only os built for its users rather than some company stocks
BSD?
a rounding error on my part, sorry 😋
More seriously, I was thinking more of foss desktop environments and user programs (which are basically the same all over) than about the actual os - thanks for correcting me
🤫 we don't mention BSD out of reverence.
Haiku?
illumos!
Hmm does it support web browsers? And is it fully FOSS (except firmware and stuff like that)?
After looking a bit more it seems like illumos is mostly the kernel, and openIndiana is one of the maintained distros.
Absolutely!
