     I think it was $50 about ten or fifteen years ago. I need a thing that puts words on the screen and will show me porn and do accelerated 2D fast enough that my SNES emulator doesn't stutter. I'm not running a mining rig.

     @p @verita84_automata @takao You just run fsck if something does not work, it works quite well.

     @dcc @takao @verita84_automata I like it but no journaling FS and I have seen it break too many times.

     It fixes the FS but you end up with orphaned inodes, and this includes files that weren't open in directories that weren't open. I have pulled files out that were busted things in /etc and then gave up when I found some of the Postgres files and some libraries: some programs will complain if some files are missing, but a missing config file for some of them means to just use the defaults. A filesystem does that to me once, and I don't want to touch it. I think the other BSDs have journaling filesystems and I'll have to figure it out if I switch there.

     @p @verita84_automata @takao Even journal files system have fucked me over (like just a few days ago) some of my libs are just missing atm. Having to backup data is the most important it seems.

     @p @dcc @verita84_automata @takao Filesystems are possibly the biggest con of BSDs when comparing them to Linux.
     
     FreeBSD has UFS(2) which doesn't have a journal and ZFS which isn't ideal for desktop usage.
     NetBSD has UFS(2) and that's it.
     OpenBSD is the same.
     And Dragonfly has HAMMER which probably is a journaled filesystem, but I couldn't find any info on that.

     @dcc @takao @verita84_automata Yeah, "can fuck up" versus "every time the machine loses power". This box that I had that constantly locked up, I had some OpenBSD VMs and every single time it happened, they were broken. Eventually they got replaced with Debian or Slackware VMs. I would really like to use Theo's OS, but if it is going to do that kind of thing, I can't.

     (I think HAMMER is journaled, but I do not recall and have not used dfly in a long time.)

     @p @phnt @takao @verita84_automata Now that i am thinking about it, i dont member if dragon fly has bhyve but if i does that means i could think about using that to (since it bhyve has gpu passthough support) I don't really care to use free bsd is the only reason i don't want to switch.

     That would be fun. Let me know what audio software works on it. I would be intrigued if Mixxx works because it was ass on FreeBSD.

     @charlie_root @dcc @phnt @takao @verita84_automata dfly is kind of tuned for some specific purposes; maybe that's changed since I used it but I would be kind of surprised if it's very friendly to that kind of purpose.
