    Last week I had a chat with a colleague who is highly specialized in Microsoft solutions.

    @stefano @christopher I am not sure if I'd say #Linux is becoming like #Windows. I do recall similar statements made on the Debian-User mailing list on a previous release when xorg introduced autoconfiguration. A lot of people were pissed that it was making choices for you instead of manually configuring the xorg.conf file.Honestly, that was a good thing. Painful doesn't begin to describe it but users were unaware they could still hand-configure the file.There has been, however, more stuff added to Linux over the last several years. Call it bloat, call it whatever you want. OSes change. But it has been gradually moving away from simplicity.I miss the simplicity.However, to reply to your original post, coming from COTS solutions, sometimes the vast amount of choice can be overwhelming. For instance, when it comes to #FreeBSD #jails it used to just be jails. Now, it's thin, thick, classic, networking. I understand they have their places but it would be helpful to provide more detailed explanations, tutorials, or best practices for each. The FreeBSD Handbook is good but just scratches the surface but often leaves more questions. It would help with learning and in part...marketing.On a side note: The FreeBSD Handbook is a great resource but there are opportunities to improve it, like tailoring it to new users (better empathy), best practices, architectural examples, and links to additional resources and info.

    @morgant @stefano @pitrh I lucked out and had my local User Group happen to give the NYCBSDCon. I put my hand up to help when they were looking for a volunteer because "some guy in Canada wants to stream the conference". Go. Volunteer. Even if you just carry a box or pull a cable. You won't regret it. We are a community with some of the most unique people I have ever met.

    The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy * You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #SmolBSD #MidnightBSD #DragonflyBSD #RUNBSD #FreeVPS #Hosting #IPv6 #DN42 #community #opensource #fosdem
