Stefano Marinelli on Nostr: I'm starting to prepare the ideas for the talk I'll give at OSDay ...
I'm starting to prepare the ideas for the talk I'll give at OSDay (https://osday.dev/agenda) next month. One of the issues I often face is explaining to people that just because I appreciate and prefer using the BSDs doesn't mean I'm AGAINST Linux. I never liked the "distro wars" even twenty-five years ago because I’ve always thought that, in the end, we’re all heading in the same direction.
The message I’ll try to convey isn’t that I don’t want to use Linux, but that the BSDs are more suited to the ways I use them, and why, in my opinion, they can also be useful to those who will attend. In other words, I’ll suggest giving them a try.
In an extremely polarized world (even in tech), it probably won’t be easy.
Just before the Covid emergency, I was offered a "challenge" talk (by a Windows sysadmin I know). People, he said, love this kind of format. I declined. For me, it's just about using the right tool for the right purpose, not a war.
Dialogue, not battle.
