@LisPi i usually just use ext4 or xfs so i think the support might not be too bad, i'd be willing to give ufs (or whatever else bsds use) a try too. i'm mostly concerned about input method editors and web browsers.

it was a pain to get fcitx5 working on any point-release distro i used (in fact i'm convinced that they all ship a package that's broken) so i wonder if similar issues are going to be present on bsd systems. i should probably try that in a vm or something.

also it seems there's a lack of good browsers and i really don't want to fight with stock firefox, it often times doesn't respect user settings and some stuff is applied at launch right after updates before the user has the chance to turn it off. it's not exclusive to bsd, but at least on linux there's librewolf to make internet at least a bit bearable.

@LisPi i was eyeing netbsd for quite a while, but i don't know how well it's going to fit my workflow. i think their kernel might be still good but even then, the userspace tools like most usable web browsers and many window managers and other tools are still slop. so even if we manage to escape what they did to the kernel, there's still a ton of damage done to the software ecosystem in general.

@LisPi isn't it going to get slopped up eventually? i feel like it might come at a later date as the version advances and the bleeding edge code get merged into lts, but i still consider the linux project tainted at this stage so unless lts gets substantially less slop for the indefinite future i don't think it's going to change my opinion too much

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: i've always had the opposite experience, people ask me to open their cans because i have slightly long nails. they think you can put a nail under the metal tab and use it to lift it up easier (you really shouldn't do that)

@LisPi connecting via ipv4 on a local network, no specific settings besides a ssh keyfile and port

since i am reading files from there i'd rather not auto-reconnect, but it seems to be more stable by now, i let the sshd disconnected for a while and trying to avoid parallel i/o
