Sony Proposes A New Soft Watchdog For Linux

[trasz]

Don't get me wrong, but since when FreeBSD can run PlayStation games?

All Sony consoles run modified FreeBSD, same way Android phones run modified Linux. Just like you cannot run Android software on stock Linux, you cannot play Playstation games on stock FreeBSD, but it's not really relevant to this discussion: we're talking about market share.

Thank you for confirming once again that your knowledge of FreeBSD is even worse than your knowledge of Linux :->

It seems you can't backup your claims. Wake me up when freebsd catches up in graphic stack and they achieve this on their own. Currently they're copying everything from Linux. They only have one modern file system 'stolen' from solaris (I know you were favoring it over Linux, but it's dead, what a pity :>), epoch introduced dozens of years after Linux' RCU etc. I also think it's time to make bsd desktop environment, because it's too much leeching on Linux already.

That's a curious thing to say, given that Sony's (FreeBSD derivative) console market share is 60%, while for Linux it's exactly 0% (https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market...ole/worldwide/).

Don't get me wrong, but... do you ever say anything that cannot be disproven by 30 seconds of googling?

Too bad you can only dream about running Sony's games on your crippled FreeBSD. It's probably because Sony took few parts from *bsd and doesn't give a shit about such niche OS. I didn't even need a 30 seconds to realize such obvious thing.

That's a curious thing to say, given that Android (Linux derivative) is the biggest gaming platform on the planet with a global market share of 40%, while for FreeBSD it's exactly 0% (https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/).

Why it's not surprising some miserable bsd parts took by Sony without giving anything back makes bsd fanboys happy? Your niche OS is non existent in comparison to Linux market share. Can you play games on your bsd trash with Linux emulator, yet?

Oh, infamous bsd troll at phoronix. BSD hardware support is a joke, just like everything else bsd related. It took them years (thirty, forty?) to implement worse RCU equivalent. Furthermore, their best selling part is 'stolen' ZFS.

I can understand Linux fanboys, it's kind of sad that all attempts at building Linux gaming console failed.

Before SpeedShift there was SpeedStep. It's been supported on FreeBSD since... ages, not sure how long exactly. Also, the hardware support goes both ways. I remember Linux having a huge problem with supporting TOE hardware, due to some Linux maintainer somehow now believing they exist, or not understanding how they work, or both. Has it been fixed?

Generally speaking, apart from "deep embedded", WiFi, and some exotic stuff that never took off, the hardware support in FreeBSD and Linux is pretty similar.

Man, you're taking the slogan too literally.

I don't think so. Their license 'serves' exactly this purpose.
