Normally in a humorous way, I'd say "Use Slackware!" 😄
But honestly, I really get what you mean. The BSD crowd tends to be more about sharing experiences and letting you explore, rather than pushing their own favorites. It's refreshing. On the Linux side, even saying "I'm trying something new" can start a 12-way distro war in the comments 😂
Still, if someone asks me about Linux distros, I will sneak in a "have you tried Slackware?"—because hey, tradition! 😉

Another LSM we don't talk enough about
https://github.com/Zouuup/landrun
The landlock LSM isn't frequently spoken about, it's Linux equivalent of OpenBSD unveil. See also "Following landlock development" in 204, "Landlock" in 161 among others. Or what I've written about it.(https://venam.net/blog/unix/2023/02/28/access_control.html#landlock--seccomp)

Hi there!
I’m Ricardson—a street photographer and open-source advocate with a lifelong passion for Linux (dating back to the Red Hat days!). Slackware 9.1 in 2004 was the distro that truly hooked me—its simplicity and "do-it-yourself" philosophy taught me the nuts and bolts of the system, and I’ve been a full-time Linux user ever since.
By day, I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer, scaling systems and automating chaos—after years of leading teams as a Manager and Head of Infrastructure. (Yes, I still miss the command line when stuck in meetings.)
These days, I split my time between:
📸 Capturing raw, candid moments through my lens—street photography is my way of storytelling.
💻 Tinkering with open-source tools—whether it’s tweaking my WM/DE, scripting, or testing FOSS alternatives.
🌐 Engaging with the Fediverse—I’m currently active on both BSD.cafe and Fosstodon, exploring the decentralized web.
I believe in privacy, minimalism, and the power of community-driven software. When I’m not behind a camera or a terminal, you might find me digging through vinyl records or sipping way too much coffee.
Let’s connect—I’m always up for a chat about photography, Linux, or obscure distros!
