FreeBSD Vows to Compete with Desktop Linux
AlanS2002 writes "FreeBSD developer Scott Long is being reported as saying that FreeBSD is quickly approaching feature parity with Linux. Apparently this is being achieved through efforts to more tightly integrate GNOME with FreeBSD, with one of the priorities being to 'GNOME's hardware abstraction layer--which handles hardware-specific code--working with FreeBSD'."
OK, so I have to be the one to dissent to the usual mindless Apfel followers wet dreams:
> Mac os x is the best desktop operative system in the world.
No, Maccie, OS X actually isn't the best desktop operating system in the world.
> It's also the one who has more eyecandy than any other operative system.
And again, Maccie, it isn't even the one with the most eye candy, regardless of what your Apfel prospectuses tell you.
> You don't like those "useless" drop shadows and transparencies? Well, here comes a newflash for you: Max os x added them first than anyone else.
Apfel has indeed often be the first one to add useless stuff to their desktops, just for you fanboys to have something to orgasm on regularly.
Install PC-BSD and you don't have to worry about your bullshit claims about "superior" hdparm and even worse ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound A**hole). I even didn't bother to explain how wrong you are... RTFM.
dont these retards understand its not the OS that making sure noone switches to freebsd and linux as a desktop its the bloody programs that can be USED for it, im a gamer, i also love ubuntu, does that mean i can spend even 1% of ym time on ubuntu while playing lineage 2 or something along those lines, fat chance, they shouldnt be pushing themselves they should be pushing 3rd party developers, i dont care if there are non OSS games because frankly thatll make so i never have to use the proverbial bluescreen generator endorsed by a fucking CEO WHO THROWS CHAIRS!!!! and if you mod this dont mod it funny mod it insightful, i want to use Linux so much more than whackdows for everything but when i dont have the compatibility it really bites in the ass...

funny that these days obvious facts get modded as troll...
Most people? Care to cite this claim?
I think only Slashdotters are obsessed with KDE, while everyone else recognizes KDE as a huge, bloated mess, infrastructure-wise and interface-wise. The devs never met a sidebar they didn't like.
