    No love for BSD?

      Yes, more free beta-testing for Apple, Netflix, Cisco, Sony, and other large commercial users is definitely needed and beneficial to the development of the free world. Or so I've been told

      Baby steps. Lets not rush it, else they might get scared and change their minds.

      Its a big step for them to go from commercial to open source, lets keep it linux for now

        Sell me on why I should choose BSD over Linux.

        It seems like driver support for BSD has always been a bit sketchy. Is that still the case?

    So does digital sovereignty in this context mean "backdoored to hell and back" by France so it is patriotic this time? I am deeply cynical about citing sovereignty as a reason for anything because it just means "We can do whatever the fuck we want because we have monopoly on violence!".

      It would be really stupid to backdoor a open source distro with do many eyes on.
