@pinkRhododendron @mcc @leo It really depends on what you need.
Most of my machines would be quite fine on FreeBSD, but the gaming machine would be an issue and my server & NAS intentionally use btrfs instead of zfs which means I have a problem (until a FUSE implementation of btrfs is available, anyway). -

If I can't run flatpaks I'm going to have really big problems. I have a webcam, I have a video capture card, I stream using OBS, I expect my AMD video compression acceleration to work. I expect to use my computer as a computer. I *am* looking at btrfs for my backup drive :(

@lispi314 @leo @pinkRhododendron I have a Steam Deck for games. But I still need to be able to run OBS on the laptop, what if I run the Steam Deck into it

@mcc@mastodon.social @leo@60228.dev @pinkRhododendron@mastodon.social For a backup drive, which doesn't usually have redundancy available,
ZFSis probably fine.My issue with
ZFSis primarily that for live arrays (which a backup drive isn't) it assumes you're rich and can afford same-sized-or-larger replacements.(It also assumes that datacenters spiking prices to 2~3x their norm never happens.)
FreeBSD has the
DRM&amdgpuso it may or may not be fine even for GPU. It kind of depends on where the most recent ports from Linux are there. MESA ports are available too.Flatpaks are most likely not an option. iirc they explicitly target Linux.
USB HIDs should be all fine.
I have a video capture card
It kinda depends on how it works. Some of those fake a webcam, some involve custom drivers, some completely bypass the host system (using the PCIe slot purely for power), it differs quite a lot.
AMD video compression acceleration
sdl_gpu
Depending on just how discovery is done, it might work fine.
Pipewire ports are available so that's everything JACK & PulseAudio handled (as well as the natively pipewire).
So, possible.
(Do not take this as a personal endorsement of FreeBSD, I do not currently use it, I simply know it has decent support and an adequate wiki.)

@mcc @leo @pinkRhododendron Convenient. My own gaming machine is older and less portable.
Used to be I could say cheaper to maintain but with modern GPU prices... -

@det I'm a bit concerned about RHEL.

@mcc just wallpaper over it, it will be fine

@mcc It's telling that the one "big" success story in the years of slop has been computer programming, an industry where a lot of people have no professional standards and are allergic to solidarity.

@mcc Agreed, but where to start? Personally, I'd be willing to contribute to fork efforts as long as they're well-organized and principled, but I couldn't imagine forking a project without having been involved / familiar with the codebase. IMHO, there also needs to be an organization uniting the movement, and both the FSF (somewhat surprisingly) and the OSI (unsurprisingly) are failing big time at that so far.
@lu_leipzig @mcc Definitely. The place to start is in governance. We need to shed the benevolent dictator model, whether that dictator is a single person, a single organization, or a small “council of elders”. We can run things collectively. It will be a new experience for just about everybody but it’s not like we have no experience in doing it.

@sabrina @lu_leipzig If the problem is values, it is not clear to me collective decision making will turn out better than top-down decision making. Then the question is whether the collective has good values.
At the moment, my goal is a separation. Allowing the people whose values reject LLMs to coordinate with each other and develop software without people who will try to inject LLM support or outputs being given an opportunity to do so.
