    BSD sucks for being behind? I had better working wifi on windows 2000, then modern linux. I also had a better graphics stack in windows 98 then your living in the past shitty linux.
    That's why they have distros like Debian and CentOS - they're maintained to be stable.

    As for your other comment, do you get better wifi in any BSD distro than linux or windows? Do you get better graphics support in BSD than linux or windows? How about audio? Not such a smart idea to bring up that point when, AFAIK, BSD is actually worse at those things than both linux and windows.

      All that matters is windows has 10x better wifi and video support. Linux will always be years and years behind.

        Sure they are. Until you look at what they don't count as security vulnerabilities.

        This is like the line the Linux community uses about how Linux is immune to malware, even though Greg Kroah-Hartman urges people to scan their Linux installations for malware.

          IMHO, "Security" and "Stability" comes from ➀ active testing(large user base), ➁ openness , ➂ careful scrutinization, ➃ active patching
          FreeBSD prevails in ➂ and Windows in ➀. Linux scores high on average in all aspects.

          We like Linux for what it is. EOS.

            I wonder why that happens. Win NT is a microkernel. It should not panic just because you change the hardware. Linux should.

            I guess:
            Blue Shit Of Death happens.

              Windows NT is not really a microkernel. It is hybrid. Linux could also be called hybrid.

                If BSD has someting, it works. Linux has many things, but none of them work correctly.

                Linux development process:
                <some old unix thing> sucks, lets do a <new better thing>.
                3 years later a <new better thing> is almost working, but it sucks, lets do a <newer better thing>.
                ...

                Example:
                static /dev sucks, lets do a devfs.
                3 years later a devfs is almost working, but it sucks, lets do a udev.

                It is not all about tehnology and versions.

                  That's funny, because I don't care about this on Linux. While there's no progress there are no regressions. Nobody forces you to upgrade your kernel. You can stick to Ubuntu LTS and be happy for 5 years.

                  BSD sucks for being behind? I had better working wifi on windows 2000, then modern linux. I also had a better graphics stack in windows 98 then your living in the past shitty linux.
                  Keep dreaming. Linux beats the crap in 90% cases. You'll have wifi working on your bsd in Linux+10 years.

                    And Linux has 10x better performance, file systems, security and stability. Winblows will always be years and years behind. When Linux will get Wayland it will be on pair in graphics. Blame me, but even with X Linux is faster in graphics in many cases. Keep dreaming. Btw. how windows helps bsd?

                      Why some fanboys compare Linux kernel to BSD distribution? Just because there's no bsd.kernel.org? Linux has many things and MOST of them works as they should. BSD has very few things and none of them work correctly. That's a difference.
