This is the first time I have
ever installed a BSD and actually liked it. up until recently, I
had found them to be buggy, difficult to set up and frankly a
waste of bloody time. until now... I think I have finally found
my forever friend, in NetBSD! I'm writing this in vim, inside a
virtual machine running NetBSD. And although there have been a
'few' teething problems, nothing thus far has been so bad as to
put me off using this freakin' odd operating system. Indeed it
is modern, simple to use and requires no previous technical
knowledge? Yeah-right! At-least with Linux, it usually just
works. Has a graphical installer, and only takes about half an
hour to set up and have a fully working operating system. With
BSD it takes hours of tweaking to get it set up, and by that
point one is tempted to delete it and pretend it never really
happened. Some think it gives a little street-cred, to be able
to say; I installed BSD with one finger, I then spent half a day
setting it all up. Maybe you are one of the elite people who can
set it up in a matter of minutes. I take my non existent hat off
to you. BSD is VERY EASY TO INSTALL but: it is not
simple to set up. Even me, who knows my way around a computer
has to eventually admit, this is a laborious task. One which I
will probably do again. (I can't help it) I love to suffer for
my computing. Net bsd has been a fun experiment, but I will
stick to Debian on my main computer. Since I do want to actually
get things done!
Another question I would like to ask is: Why couldn't NetBSD
have the fish logo?
And if you are wondering why I have the
OpenBSD ascii in neofetch. It's because I think it's better than
the netbsd logo. So there.
