I have little to write about since my switch to GhostBSD. It’s been phenominal, speedy, simple, and well-maintained. Most of my future posts will be stuff I’m learning about my new platform.

The more I read and see online about the world of Linux and Free Open Source Software (hereafter: FOSS), the more corrupt and crazy it seems to be getting. Almost all of the once-great FOSS projects has turned to0 the Dark Side. Mozilla (Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail) is now an advertising company (privacy? Bullshit!) and a self-described “global group of activists” for such noble causes as transgender “rights,” climate change, feminism, and “anti-colonialism.”

The Gnome Project is similarly overtaken with far-left extremism. So is KDE (the other “big” desktop). Almost religious fervor for such tools as Wayland (with equally fervence against X11) and Rust threaten to eliminate any competition, like systemd has been almost completely successful in doing.

Right down to the Linux kernel itself, political correctness, corporate “sponsorship” (read: purchase), and DEI rules the project. So far the BSDs have managed to steer clear of the corruption, corporate influence, political ideology, and misplaced priorities. I have wiped away Linux entirely, withy the same zeal and satisfaction I got years ago when I wiped away Microslop Windows in favor of Linux. May the BSDs ever remain free of the effing bovine excrement that has made a mockery of both Linux and FOSS.

But if not, at least there’s Mac.
