Anyone know how to dual-boot OpenBSD on a 32-bit MacBook from 2007?
I have no idea what I'm doing, help!
Every other forum has rules about these posts because there's such a glut of them, and yes, I could go read a stickied thread elsewhere, but here I am not doing that.
How would someone with no computer skills get acquainted with the OS? What version would you recommend to the hopeless novice? Can I keep windows on my PC and run the new OS or a practice version of it in a partitioned space while I learn? Can someone with minimal skills/time/patience be happy with a unix-like OS?
Is BSD "unix-like" or is it "true Unix"? Is it welcome here?
What's the general opinion on the BSDs? Are they just Unix-Like (like Linux), or are they really Unix?
Some call them "heritage Unix", because, although they no longer contain a single line of AT&T code (and haven't for over 40 years), they were ultimately derived from the original Unix.
This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, because I wonder, if you consider BSD to be "true Unix", what other "Unix-like" operating system besides Linux kernel-based systems there are. Or are "real" Unices also considered "unix-like"?
As an aside, what about macOS, if you use the command line a lot?
