Super happy for you, you found your OS and that's fine, but also super proud of myself that i can setup X on every FreeBSD machine so nonchalant ;)

That isn't what I said. I said that Linux is easier than BSD for a desktop and there is no real reason why that should be the case. That is an objective fact.

I would rather use neither of these systems, but the alternatives are worse. At the moment Linux is the least worst option if you want a Desktop OS.

As I said it isn't just X.

The point that you don't want to engage with (bit childish tbh), is that a lot of this should completely unnecessary. There really should need to be a fork of the OS for having a desktop configuration that works reasonably well out of the box.

That is failure of both the OS and the community, which judging by your username you seem to be a member.


>you don't seem to want to engage with is that you shouldn't have to.

Na i really don't want that, have a good day


I don't believe you (you put the winky face after what you said) and I suspect you are just being contrarian for the sake of it.
