I don't want to continue this useless conflict, your comments read as if chatgpt wrote them.

Just a few bits to help you:

UNIX and other systems like MINIX and the ones you mentioned were so much more popular than *BSD ever was.

UNIX obviously was more popular than specifically BSD UNIX, but you don't seem to understand that one is a subset of the other. You might want to read of "Unix wars" and how BSD UNIX became just BSD and then a bunch of *BSDs.

Minix was an education kit.

No one wants to use non-free hardware support, troll.

You are, in fact, using mostly non-free firmware, as in "binary blobs", for a lot of your hardware to function under Linux.

It has zero advantages over Linux and so many disadvantages.

You keep writing such sentences about four distinct operating systems, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Don’t make me laugh about *BSD’s “design decisions”, ones that basically create a system that is much more difficult to work with because it has a much more simplistic base than the much more robust Linux ecosystem.

This sentence means nothing.

If Google, Microsoft, Apple, or Meta were caught using GPL against its license, they’d be sued to oblivion and they know it. That’s why they don’t. If you think GPL is unenforceable, you are a fool.

I said it's enforceable and they are still using it just as "responsibly" and they do with BSD, MIT, ISC licenses, which is the point.

OK, done

Oh good, now the angry, immature contrarian is accusing me of being a bot.

You also accusr me of misunderstanding badic shit like how BSD came from UNIX when I never said differently. If you had any reading comprehension, you'd see I said UNIX was still being used at that time OVER *BSD.

Similar fallacies and bullshit litter the rest of your immature little shit rant.

I can guarantee I wrote every word of what I say and despise the rise of GenAI and would never use it.

Can you say the same?

see I said UNIX was still being used at that time OVER *BSD.

You seem to think Unix is one system. You also seem to think *BSDs are not a branch of Unix.

You don't seem to learn.

How old are you and what's your intention in behaving this way? Just interested.
