Are people ditching linux and switch to #NetBSD because of systemd, the corpo influence, the chaotic kernel architecture, the overly complex solutions or just because kernel devs using LLMs?]]>So... Are people ditching linux and switch to because of systemd, the corpo influence, the chaotic kernel architecture, the overly complex solutions or just because kernel devs using LLMs? Both are good reasons, but the the former exist for ages...

But it's getting a little better!
I use GUIX and FreeBSD, and I'm very happy with it. It's great to have many options.

anyway, yes, systemd has been around. but for many, i suspect the barrier to entry on BSDs is too high. esp for casual users. hell, i just finished a 9-month programming course and of my 50ish classmates, everyone but me used Windows. 🤢
