I understand this, but was answering the question (in general) about why I believe BSD has better networking.

Not in Apple's best interest. Were I Apple, I would tie this up in court until there is a better political climate. They have the money to kick the can down the road.

Throughput. The BSD networking stack has been very carefully engineered over time. Linux is OK, but nowhere near as robust. FreeBSD is legendary for load tolerance and network throughput, that on equal machines would choke a Linux server. S

Try OpenBSD. OpenBSD has the best laptop support of the BSDs. Dragonfly BSD offers nothing that Free- or OpenBSD doesn't IMHO. OpenBSD supports tons of chipsets, suspend, sound, wireless, you name it. Costs you nothing to try. I was so

Very cool, very interesting. Regarding systemd, we here in the BSD camp welcome you. :) No such issue like systemd with its binary nonsense in FreeBSD or OpenBSD. And, one config file (plain text) to rule them all in /etc/rc.conf

ZFS on Linux. No, thank you. I'll continue to use ZFS natively under FreeBSD, which is arguably a far better OS for what ZFS users would be wanting anyway. Been using *BSD since the late 90s. Never a real issue short of HW failure. I c

Civil discourse is already at an all-time low. What could possibly go wrong? Bad idea.

America would be just fine with zero H1-B workers. There is zero deficiency in IT numbers that qualified Americans cannot fill. The issue lies with companies being cheap and disavowing Americans in favor of more profit to please the ever-de

Nothing at all wrong with putting foreign workers on a lesser footing. This is America, they are Indians. They should bloody well be grateful to even be let in the country, especially what with Disney and now IBM and others. There is ZERO s
