Error in FreeBSD handbook

[kpedersen]

If it's not getting changed in the handbook then don't complain when vendors don't release drivers for FreeBSD, because until the handbook is improved, FreeBSD's marketshare won't increase and vendors will have no concern about FreeBSD drivers.

You give vendors far too much credit or don't quite realize how little they contribute to any non-Windows platform (macOS, AIX, Solaris, Linux, BSD, etc).

Besides, check out Microsoft's documentation here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop

C:\temp> wsl ls -la

You need to tell them that C:\temp> is not part of the command and that vendors won't support them unless they change their documentation.

I don't care about vendors, nor do I care about Microsoft's documentation.

A little bit strange.

I also find it a little bit puzzling that you, after reading through the entire handbook arrived at the conclusion that the consistent %, # convention used throughout was a "bug" that had simply gone unnoticed for 30+ years.

If UNIX is new to you, then I certainly don't blame you. Chill out and use this opportunity to learn about some of the new ways to do things. Yes, some things are plain bizarre but some things FreeBSD does so well that it is worth keeping an open mind.

Also, a rule is, when I come across something that I don't understand but everyone else seems to have been working fine with since before I was born, the error is probably mine rather than upstream.

If there is one flaw in FreeBSD that this thread has uncovered, it's that we need higher-quality forum trolls!

I haven't read through the entire handbook. This is one of your fairy tails.

FreeBSD is not UNIX, stop fantasizing. UNIX is dead and is now nothing more than a certification.

In fact, installing gnome is the first instruction I performed that required entering commands. You are a fool.

Buddy, go cool your heels out there in the sunshine. Come back when you feel better.
