TrueOS vs Mint???
TrueOS vs Mint???
I currently use mint and it works perfectly without any problems. I'm curious though—does it really matter right now?
TrueOS offers a unique experience. You might not like the built-in Lumnia desktop, but installing Plasma works well. For a BSD-like environment, explore GhostBSD.
I know, if nothing is broke, there is nothing to fix... It is odd, I am wondering about it again, but I feel silly, there is no reason to if Mint is good... Hmmm, is Ghost better??? Ya I read reviews, most of the bad stuff seems to be about Lumina... https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue...8#ghostbsd Updater appears to have a issue;;; Why I know what it means continue (working) or restart (keep updating)...
GhostBSD is merely FreeBSD with a desktop environment. TrueOS introduces many changes from the original, such as modifying the init system and adding support for additional hardware. A few other adjustments are made, but overall it remains functional. What functions on FreeBSD may not always translate to TrueOS. TrueOS appears to be discontinued, with the project now focused on Trident OS. TrueOS aimed to serve as a meta-platform for FreeBSD desktops, and GhostBSD is expected to join the early adopters. Unusual, right? Nonetheless, it’s a valid point. Generally I wouldn’t suggest BSD for desktop use, but there are some appealing aspects, particularly for those who enjoy extensive customization.
It's understandable... the name change does bother me. They're putting in effort, and it seems like a positive move overall since FreeBSD becomes more popular. Having a unified foundation makes implementing updates easier. I don't love every single change they make, but I appreciate the OpenRC update—it shows they're learning from other operating systems' experiences.
It's unusual, Mint seems likely to be free, but I'm curious about PT once it's released... Plus the BSD community would be simpler to work with... Using Open/Free/Net BSD instead of over 300 variations...
These Open/Free/Net BSD versions aren't the same operating systems anymore. They're connected but have evolved significantly beyond projects like Debian and Red Hat, making it tricky to label them as distinct distributions. It's mainly for systems built on FreeBSD, with several options available now.
