> It's hard to say how the future will develop. There are only three open-source operating systems in the entire world that really pull it together on having a complete, modern, SMP kernel: Linux, DragonFlyBSD, and FreeBSD. And that's it. We also have NetBSD and OpenBSD and I'd kinda like to know what their plans are, because the future is clearly going not only multi-core, but many-core. For everything. But as I like to say, for SMP there are only three at the moment. One can't dispute that Linux has nearly all the eyeballs, and DragonFly has very few.

Some bold statement right there!


Increased diversity in open source is a good thing -- not just in operating systems and applications, but licenses as well... I just wish VS Code ran on DragonFlyBSD.
