Will we all be fucked or is there a Linus 2?

We've all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we'll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.

The year of the netbsd desktop is finally here.

what's the bsd equivalent to arch

Is it still maintained ? I'd probably go with FreeBSD if I'm switching to BSD at all. It has ZFS out of the box and has support for nvidia's non opensource driver. I have used it as a desktop OS for a good 3 months, it was pretty good (even though I couldn't game on it)

I'll go back to HaikuOS, it should be ready by then. ReactOS will still be working on Win98 support.

I think I have a Windows ME CD lying around somewhere. Can I use that?
