the fragmented world of #BSD.
Huh
Is there something equivalent in the OpenBSD world, perhaps under another name?
chroot (8), vmm (kinda)
What, if any, are the LLM policies of OpenBSD and FreeBSD?
OpenBSD has Schroedinger LLM policy - Theo said no (due to copyright issues), but there is no interest to implement that and latest opinion is "no OpenBSD dev cares about your whining regarding LLM code in the source". As for FreeBSD LLM code is already in the source, but I do not recall if there was stated any policy.
- Has anybody tried audio production in BSD?
No idea, but for sure you will need to spend some time on manual configuration of OSS/sndio.
(I have been informed by an anonymous source that "BSD jails" are in fact what they put you in if you use the software without a valid BSD license. I am not sure this is correct.)
That is not correct, jails are used for software isolation, no matter what is the license. It is like better chroot (FreeBSD folks would eat me for saying that).
The most Linux-user-friendly BSD is FreeBSD/GhostBSD. The next one is NetBSD and last one is OpenBSD.
