    When they said FreeBSD 15 was now easier to install, they weren’t wrong. Here it is up and running on a Lenovo Thinkpad. Wifi works, trackpad works, setting up X11 was easy. Pretty impressed really. #freebsd

    @rysiek Doesn’t really sound, from the article, as a traffic spike that “would probably bring any individual website down”. Sounds to me more like “we have this program vital to our infrastructure that parses up to 128 MB from this config file, and that’s been fine for years” and now they went slightly over the magic file limit and the piece of infra panicked on config read…

    @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.
