@charlie_root >FREE software.
Considering that all BSD's were derived from proprietary Unix's with software being copied under unclear licensing terms, I cannot say that any BSD is free software.

While the current holder of Unix's copyrights does not care and may never care, that's not a guarantee.

A lot of BSDs also do disgusting things like install proprietary software without asking the user (OpenBSD's installer is one example, which installs proprietary software automatically if it detects the hardware could use it).

Almost off of the BSD distros repos have lots of proprietary software programs that don't seem to be even properly marked either.


Most versions of GNU/Linux are proprietary as well, but you clearly shouldn't use those.


>coreboot does not init hardware 100%. A lot of the buck is passed to the Linux kernel. So if you are using BSD you are lucky to boot, with a lot of GPU problems. Otherwise it's glitchy screen and a really unstable boot.
Well, this doesn't apply to me as I don't use OS's that are an embarrassment to run: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=2oLuJSFZKEs (by a cuck to proprietary software of course).
