Why yes, BSD users are gigachads.
How could you tell?

BSD, Berkeley System Distribution, or Berkeley Unix, is a Unix (ev&oe it almost has no old Unix code) operating system that was firstly developed in 1978 in University of California, Berkeley or something. It is best known for being one of the most aryan, gigachad, divine intellect operating systems (unlike Troonix and Binbows) that power PlayStation 4 and 5, powerful desktops and servers to small embedded systems, like routers.

BSD is a monolithic system (unlike the seemingly similar Troonix), having it's drivers, kernel, and just everything kept together.

Unlike the original Unix, BSD was always open-source (Though you could fork it and make it proprietary because of their license geg). This is one of the reasons why BSD is considered gemmy and aryan.

History and creation

BSD started development in 1978 in University of California, Berkeley by a chad named Bill Joy, who also made the vi text-editor (which later got forked into the gemmy Vim editor, which is the favorite text editor of trannies and chuds).

1BSD

1BSD was the first release of the operating system, though it was mostly just small additions and extensions to the base Unix with nothing pretty much special.

2BSD and 3BSD

2BSD and 3BSD were released in 1979, with actual noticeable additions, such as like the vi text-editor, and the csh shell, while the 3BSD was a big rewrite because of the VAX machine or something.

Later BSD started to get more of it's original code, and removed much of the old Unix one, and started to shape into an actual gemmy operating system.

Post 80's

By 1994, BSD stopped development and became discontinued. From 4.3BSD Net/2, a fork named 386BSD was made, which later was the base of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. (ev&oe some of them are based on 4.4BSD-Lite Release 2 with some 386BSD code). They are still the shiniest, most refined gems to this day.

In the 2000's, Crapple made their own BSD clone called Darwin from the gemmy FreeBSD, but made it proprietary garbage with Apple and CIA spyware embedded into the OS.

FreeBSD

FreeBSD is the most popular BSD variant of all the 3 main ones. It was forked from 386BSD in 1993 with some 4.3BSD additions, and made publicly available in November 1993. The reason for the fork was because the other developers who worked on 386BSD thought it might become DNB with it's slow development.

It is the most performant and fastest BSD variant, with best driver and program support unlike most BSDs.

Many nophono forks were made from FreeBSD, such as:

• DragonflyBSD
• MidnightBSD
• GhostBSD
• NomadBSD
• HardenedBSD
• OPNsense, pfSense ^{[Ev&doe those are router BSDs]}
• Darwin

OpenBSD

OpenBSD is one of the most secure operating system in the world if not counting TempleOS. It was created similarly to FreeBSD because the guy who worked on NetBSD (Theo De Raadt, who also made NetBSD (and is from south africa geg)) had some argument with the team and decided to fork it and make OpenBSD.

It is the second most popular BSD variant, but obviously it should be the most popular one because it's the gemmiest gem, even gemmier than FreeBSD.

OpenBSD was also responsible for projects that are to some extent gemmier even than the OpenBSD itself, which are:

• OpenSSH
• OpenNTPD
• OpenSMTPD

NetBSD

NetBSD is a BSD variant that of course runs on anything. Anything can run NetBSD, like a i486, a Nintendo Wii, or maybe your even heckin phone. The first NetBSD version, 0.8, was released in summer of 1993.

NetBSD is more of a nophono variant than the other main 2. Though many people run this on obscure hardware because they don't have it supported on their Troonix distro or BSD variant, or it's a Nintendo Wii geg.

Links and tldrs to the BSDs

• FreeBSD - The most famous one and the most modern one. If you want to use BSD, use this.
• OpenBSD - A very secure BSD, perfect for learning system security. Also why OpenSSH exists.
• NetBSD - Made to run on almost anything. From gigantic servers to small embedded systems, NetBSD is probably gonna run.
• DragonflyBSD - Nophono BSD that no one cares about.
• 386BSD - Oldfag BSD, is the oldest one aside from the OG BSD. Only for the historical purposes.
• Darwin - The one that was the base for all Crapple Operating systems.
