“…This style was based on the use of tools: using programs separately or in combination to get a job done, rather than doing it by hand, by monolithic self-sufficient subsystems, or by special-purpose, one-time programs.”

I think it is a very good thing to have TWO options when choosing a FSF conform distro. Yes, for a laptop linux may be the more versatile option (for now…) but on a server a BSD-distro will be pure gold.

p.s. i have no problems using bsd on a laptop right now - it’s a very clean and well made system and the hardware support is sufficient.

  1. There is not a scientific proof YET, but i think it can be done: for that we would need to program the “corner-stone”, which would be the *nix-program #1 - something that could show practically what the pioneers of the *nix system envisioned. This practical proof is possible, if we deep dive into the POSIX definition to analyze for what it was made.

  2. unix is a trademark, but what counts is the architectural vision behind it (D. Richie&co.) I think it would be better to avoid the tradmarked word (sry for using it) - *nix may be a proper word (although it implies that it is a whole group)

lynx (when possible), fff, cmus, mutt, latex, core-utils, mupdf (vi like keybindings), sxiv, mpv (no-gui)

i only use gui programs if no cli option exists: js-browser, gimp

Sure, systemd does what it is supposed to do. It is NOT bad design from the admins perspective, but from a os-architecture perspective. It is a huge single binary with a huge number of 0-day exploits (you can check those). The scale of the projects causes many possible exploits. A set of small programs, which do only one thing, is easier to maintain (^= decentralization of os-design)
