FreeBSD 14.0 has reached – RELEASE

You know how there's a constant stream of weird things Linux does that annoy and confuse you? Like .sudo_as_admin_successful showing up in your home directory with no way to turn it off and nothing really documented anywhere? Or being afraid to upgrade because you don't know which method won't clobber your custom kernel modules?

That stuff happens a lot less on FreeBSD.

You can get rid of a lot of unexpected behavior just by using Slackware. I like the BSDs, but I also like having broader hardware and software compatibility.

Sure. I'm not married to the FreeBSD kernel, but to the BSD approach generally.

If someone did the opposite of Debian/kFreeBSD I would be interested. FreeBSD/kLinux?

A person could reasonably argue that Slackware was always a BSD that happened to you the that happened to use the Linux kernel:)

I've only seen that in Debian-based or Ubuntu-based distributions
