Exactly, "commercial" choice. Any OS that wants to support consumer-grade hardware, in 2022, must provide Bluetooth; OpenBSD just doesn't care enough about the consumer market to do that.

True they don't care about you, it's like you don't count...who could imagine that!!! Quel sacrilege!!

Lol, I think this comment illustrates why BSDs will forever lag, better than any technical explanation... and I say that as an OpenBSD user.

>BSDs will forever lag, Terrible to hear that! >and I say that as an OpenBSD user. My condolence that you have to use that terrible anti-consumer system.

I have to get an outlet for my masochism tendencies somehow, at least this doesn't leave scars - physical ones, that is. I have to say though, my insistent trolling of the project on forums like these occasionally contributes to the push to progress - like the long-requested syspatch. I'm not sure what yours achieves.

>my insistent trolling of the project on forums like these occasionally contributes to the push to progress You really believe that right?

> Really that's new...because netflix thinks otherwise. That is true[^1]. Doesn't say much the two TCP stacks in 2022 though. Netflix has built expertise around FreeBSD for years. Not just TCP stack optimisations. There's deployment, management, maintenance, etc. I don't expect them to jump ship easily, especially if the tool is good for the job - which obviously is. However, even they reckon that FreeBSD _might_ be…

So you need Bluetooth and installed the only BSD who has no bt....sounds like a excellent use of time on this planet ;)

Sorry, I finished my troll-berries for today, see you on the next OpenBSD thread!
