Chud Its time to abandon linux

LONG TECHFAG BLABBLE BELOW
After the recent kernel rust debacle it became clear that linux is sinking ship.
rust being added shouldn't consider linux to be bad geg still better than windows in things like servers
Rust is cancer NSA backdoor in linux it doubles compile time and forces bloated dependecies like lvm and pull 400+ micro dependecies with cargo that break sometimes to even build it.
1. The US government is only pushing for Rust because of its focus on "memory safety" and the amount of vulnerabilities in important stuff (which they use) are most of the time due to shitty memory management
2. On decent hardware it shouldn't take too long, C++ projects can take as long as rust projects to build too even on good hardware (try building QtWebEngine or anything Qt related)
cargo build --release seems to be faster for me on good hardware and reduces binary size by alot (90M debug to 4MB release)
3. Dependency hell is right please save me I fucking hate this shit so much
Also last time I checked, isn't rust/ in the linux source tree built with rustc and Makefiles instead of cargo???
On top of that there 0 actual rust drivers if some get merged it in a few years compiles times will 10X for sure. This is why I will switch to BSD unlike linux its not owned by big corporations doesn't have systemd, udev, pulse audio...
1. Rust's god awful community is trying to shove Rust into everything with scary success so good luck
2. BSD is alright i guess even though most of its users aren't desktop users yet
3. you can ALWAYS switch to other alternatives for stuff on linux??????? the whole point of linux is to give (You) an actual operating system you can change to (You)r liking so instead of whining about Y foundation being selfish little fucks you can always find some other alternative made by some guy in wherever and use that
For systemD there's runit, GNU hurd, s6, openrc
For udev theres gentoo's eudev, mdev,
For pulseaudio (you shouldn't be using this GEEEEEEG) theres pipewire, alsa and JACK
 
I'm itching to distrohop again, redpill me on BSD, I want to try something new regardless of the attached licenses.

I'm probably retarded but one time I tried FreeBSD when I was 14 and every time I tried to start an X session it'd shit out like 50 million errors so I gave up on it
 
This is running toasty but it's interesting regardless. Definitely worth the minimal effort, might tinker about and get my CPU running optimally as to mitigate the battery drain. The built-in services are sweet, especially the backlight service as I had to get it separately on Arch. (Only running GNOME because I'm a lazy little nigger who doesn't want to tinker with XFCE EDIT: I forgot how crap GNOME was, back on XFCE geg.)

can you actually do stuff on *BSD though i kinda wanna try messing with my system when i get to attempting to daily drive it
 
MATE support for wayland is fucked and I really dont want to use GuhNome or GayDE
Not that X11 is superior, it's a rotting corpse but its replacement is a mess too
true but so far i like the window managers that spawned from it

KDE is alright and shieeet gnome is less fucky albeit but i don't like either that much but i still miss using i3wm :(

After a few hours of configuring intel drivers and fixing xorg, yes, but at the cost of time. My stinkpad refused to cooperate with the latest intel drivers due to an unfixed bug in the latest build of drm-kmod that causes the initialisation of i915kms to hang the entire system, so I had to boot into single user mode and modify the boot-loader to reboot without the intel drivers, and low and behold the old ones made absolutely no difference to performance. But other then driver issues, my function keys worked along with the keyboard, the touchpad itself and my WiFi and Bluetooth cards. It's a solid option over all, you can get most programs with no hassle so web browsing and consooming slop is trivial, but the OS itself needs more time to bake methinks.

TL;DR
Xorg and intel can suck my dick, BSD can do basic stuff with ease.

Well I'll be damned, I got it working as smooth as butter on a hot pan. I forgot to enable a few options in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and once added, it just werked better then my Arch install ever did. This is the conf right now as it stands.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "DRI" "3"
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

I'm beyond impressed with the performance. I'm a tad embarrased I didn't figure this out yesterday.
