freebsd vs artix(arch)-linux

[Alain De Vos]

I compared the two OS's. Some software works on one and vice-versa. So there is not a better.
On artix i can use wayland with nouveau drivers, not on freebsd.
The vscode-nim-plugin works on freebsd , not on artix.
Compiling an F# program to a self-contained-executable works on artix not on freebsd.
Etc ...

I can't see the point in this thread. FreeBSD vs some random Linux? Linux does this, FreeBSD does that, Linux doesn't do that, but FreeBSD does this... etc, etc, ad infinitum until the proverbial cows come home.

 

[Alain De Vos]

As a user you have a choice. And the question raises what is best. You find out what is best for doing what.
In the end, no-best.

Compiling an F# program to a self-contained-executable works on artix not on freebsd.

On the JVM side there's also that pain. Scala-native exists, but I use GraalVM instead for building native binaries because it just works, but right now GraalVM does not work on any BSD, Haiku or other niche OSes.

so we do it interpreted.
