minus-squareCyborganismlinkfedilink73•1 year agoThe movie came out in 1999. In the movie, they state that it’s 1999 (in the Matrix anyway). Neo is pretty tech savvy and a renowned hacker. My assumption is he would’ve used FreeBSD. Or, maybe, Slackware. But I’m leaning more towards BSD.
minus-square@lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilink4•1 year agoI just can’t believe I just read the words Norton Commander. It’s like the Proust story where he smells a macaroon and all of a sudden he’s remembering an avalanche of things long forgotten. My brain defragging
minus-square@vanderbilt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish10•1 year agoMan I wish FreeBSD hadn’t fallen to the wayside. It’s really cohesive and feels put together in a way not Linux distro ever has.
minus-squareCyborganismlinkfedilink2•1 year agoYou know, I’ve never used it. Maybe I’ll install it in a VM tonight and give it a whirl.
minus-squareSentient LoomlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoIs it still worth using? Say, for a web dev? Or is it less supported?
minus-square@vanderbilt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoHonestly it isn’t. Support for anything front-end related is way more sparse compared to Linux.
minus-squareSentient LoomlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoThat’s a shame. I’d love a new exotic OS to try.
minus-square@acockworkorange@mander.xyzlinkfedilink1•1 year agoI mean, it’s decades older with a history of being used in business critical applications…
minus-square@zellian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•1 year agoI’d argue that he’d use OpenBSD and be running his own firewall, web server, email server, and ftp server.
minus-square@Aganim@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 year agoOr SuSE Linux, the non-slackware or jurix version was bleeding edge at the time.

Nah. It is DOS with Norton Commander.
