I'm running #NetBSD (#ARM64 version) with #XFCE & #Mate on #QEMU (X11/xfce wouldn't run under #VMWare yesterday), and what I've seen is that ALL system prefs/admin tools from these DEs are not ported over to BSD. You only get the bare minimum of the DE. This shows how apart #Linux and #BSD have grown. Which means that if they care about the #desktop, they need to fork one of these DEs (maybe #LXDE or #LXQT would be best instead), and properly develop it for their own use case.

@lproven @theregister Plan9 is an #opensource OS with 38 system calls & few #linesofcode . Is not #UNIX .

#VMware is canceling the free ESXi that will mean the next generations will not be able to use it in their homelabs. This means other solutions like #Proxmox, #KVM or #Bhyve will educate the admins of the future. Citrix did the same thing with XEN server and killed an complete ecosystem even it was released for free again later people did not come back.

💰 Broadcom Ends Support For Free ESXi Vmware Hypervisor
— Slashdot

"Broadcom announced immediate end of ESXi availability. ESXi has been an important tool for many "homelab" enthusiasts -- offering simple bare metal virtualization for small setups. Unfortunately they don't offer a replacement, except for paid subscription services"

#ESXi #Vmware

Leave it to #Broadcom to ruin things for #ESXi users. #vmware

If you have someone you care about working with #vmware in a $dayjob, now is the right moment to give them a call, extend your moral support, and/or treat them to a few drinks.

Remember #Symantec? 🤦‍♂️

#broadcom

Me: Making fun of #vmware bad practice an important topic
Fedi: 🦗 🦗 🦗

Me: Have you heard of the fictional cycle of operating systems getting bad and this weird niche OS? Will it be the next linux?
Fedi: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Conclusion: None, I do not take live so serious :)

Love you all stay the way you are!

Pro OSS: If you use OSS you never need to worry about the vendor changing deals on you

Propietary Vendors: No, nobody sane would ever do that that is against ones own bottom line.

If you're running #VMWare, perhaps it's a good time to remind you that #FreeBSD #bhyve is an awesome hypervisor. Granted, it doesn't have all the features that VMWare provides, but it does a great job at what it does do.
