Is it okay that I look at the vast number of people coming over from #Linux to #BSD and my gut reaction is.... "Fine, but you need to leave some expectations and demands at the fucking door."
Because most of us have no want, nor need to see systemd brought over. Don't even get me started on Wayland, and graphical installers.
You are welcome, but you are in our house now. In this house, we still read the fucking manual.
*I do not speak for any BSD community member. I am simply speaking from the viewpoint of a looooongtime BSD user.
I have donated money, and I have supported many projects that need BSD to survive. And I have commited far too much to this world for it to become the Linux fallout shelter.
We do some things differently here. We aren't going to become more Linux like willingly. Y'all need to become more BSD like, or GTFO.
