As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.

Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.

This sounds like macOS (in a good way). Is the window really closed or just hidden?

What does that mean?

Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.

I’m mostly used to it now. Though -r is supported in macOS’ rm command I still prefer -R and use it even on Linux where I believe -r is the preferred argument.

Actually that’s a good point that I’ve completely forgotten. Docker uses the modern macOS APIs for virtualization these days, and uses Rosetta2 for amd64 containers.

Edit: Damn you’ve got me excited about FreeBSD again. I’m a much bigger fan of FreeBSD on bare metal but do love Docker and related Linux goodness!

It is now, but it was bash before.

But in any case once you start doing anything remotely advanced you’ll find the individual command line utilities are wildly different between macOS and Linux. They seem (are?) much closer to FreeBSD than GNU utilities.

That’s interesting. I haven’t really used Windows since the XP days so I didn’t realize there was already some VM stuff going on to begin with.

I always wonder how Docker works on macOS with a more UNIX-style kernel than Linux when even FreeBSD gave up on the effort.

I understand macOS is way closer to Linux than Windows (despite its differences) but is it really that hard to do Docker/OCI out of Linux?

Why did they give up on the wine-like approach? That seems so much better than running an entire VM (not even a Microsoft person but still).

How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.

I already VPN 99% of my traffic out of the country and use non-US services wherever I can. When Trump was first elected I started wondering if they’re going to start a China-style firewall out of the country and it’s been in the back of my mind since.

It’s actually a pretty fantastic distribution and soothes my FreeBSD-based snobby notions of a clean, organized OS.

By far my favorite desktop-oriented Linux distro but damn do I wish it were available for arm64.

Not being a Python developer myself I’d almost go the Docker route simply to avoid the hell that is Python package management.

While I can’t suggest anything specifically helpful (I’ve forgotten) I’d say check the project’s Dockerfile. It’ll give you an idea of how they’re handling it in Docker therefore a provide some hint as to what to do.

That’s right, but I was talking about a C project.

I see this too and it’s caused by the actual server not having a certificate belonging to the domain. It’s likely a configuration problem (and okay) but I don’t like to take chances.

If they offer a torrent, perhaps it’s better to use that for now.

A lot of the macOS networking stack (at a lower level) comes from FreeBSD. People have argued that the BSD network stack is superior to Linux whereas Linux runs applications faster. At a low level, I think this is still accurate.

I’m a Ruby developer but I tried to port a Linux application written in C to macOS before and it was mostly rearranging positional arguments to system API calls; however there’s probably a lot more going on that I’m not aware of too.

I don’t know why i2p would be flaky on macOS. I run i2pd (hate Java) on Linux and macOS and it’s functionally the same.

Transmission is my favorite design-wise on macOS but I wish it had i2p support.
