[Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:11:57 AM Pacific Daylight Time] hi guys [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:12:13 AM Pacific Daylight Time] I have a question with HyperbolaBSD and not GNU/kBSD? [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:12:21 AM Pacific Daylight Time] why* [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:13:53 AM Pacific Daylight Time] We are NOT a GNU-project and also we do not use glibc. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:14:28 AM Pacific Daylight Time] So there is no reasoning to call this different as HyperbolaBSD is a complete new BSD-descendant operating-system. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:17:06 AM Pacific Daylight Time] isf: as throgh said, HyperbolaBSD is a pure BSD-descendant operating system, from the kernel to the userspace [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:18:12 AM Pacific Daylight Time] even our userspace is being developed from scratch, its origins comes from the all BSD-descendant projects. About the kernel hyperbk is a hard-fork of OpenBSD 7.0 one [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:18:55 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Also, we do not wish to be associated with the GNU-project. We respect and share the common goals, as we also include some projects / software later as of now in our extra-repository. But besides all that we do our own ways. As our libc for example is musl-libc with own additions. So it is a complete different system and standing alone / for its own. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:19:40 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is called that way out of two major reasonings: First the usage of GNU/Linux-libre as kernel, second the usage of glibc. :) [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:20:11 AM Pacific Daylight Time] And HyperbolaBSD is the future, as standing on its own. :) [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:20:48 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Thanks to the planning of emulatorman_ and coadde development. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:21:36 AM Pacific Daylight Time] You you will usa non-GNU licenses? [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:21:55 AM Pacific Daylight Time] use* [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:22:18 AM Pacific Daylight Time] you will only accept non-GNU free licences*? [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:23:42 AM Pacific Daylight Time] No, surely not. As said: We share the cmmon goals, same as the GNU-project. But as the GNU-project did not manage until today to get steady stances and is heading into unstable pathways, we oriented ourself. So yes, we try most for GPL-code. :) But also Simplified-BSD (BSD-2 clause) and Modified-BSD(BSD-3 clause). [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:23:49 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Furthermore the others known compatible. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:24:32 AM Pacific Daylight Time] If you want more to read on our stances and motivations, I can give you links in the wiki, isf. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:24:44 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Ok I understand, since in terms of strategy the usage and promotion of strong copyleft licenses like the GNU GPLv3 are a good weapong against the development of nonfre-software. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:24:52 AM Pacific Daylight Time] But first things first: Feel welcome here. :) [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:25:14 AM Pacific Daylight Time] thanks throgh [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:25:56 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Yes, strong protection against non-free software is very important for us. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:26:39 AM Pacific Daylight Time] Therefore we are looking on software-projects using such, and not complying later on with cheap (foul) excuses - onwards with weak permissive licensing - to comply with corporate software. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:32:16 AM Pacific Daylight Time] I have another question, related on why you see being a BSD descendant as the future [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [11:33:26 AM Pacific Daylight Time] is there a technical motivation for say that, you believe that hyperbolaBSD will be the future between other free system GNU variantes like Guix, Parabola will be the past? [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [12:05:45 PM Pacific Daylight Time] isf: We do not see Hyperbola in competition, more as enhancement and choice. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [12:07:01 PM Pacific Daylight Time] Hyperbola is not a competing system et all, it is more its own direction: For people in choice of smaller, minimalist orientation. No wayland, just X11, no pulseaudio, own init (runit), different packaging foremost minimalist oriented, not many dependencies. So offering a base for privacy, offline-orientation instead with almost all basic needed. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [12:07:14 PM Pacific Daylight Time] So window-manager, desktop-environment and all further. [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [12:26:39 PM Pacific Daylight Time] Ok, ok I understand I like it thanks for the orientation [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [12:26:50 PM Pacific Daylight Time] O like the offline-orientation [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [1:05:43 PM Pacific Daylight Time] I like this project because looks with much personality [Saturday, June 13, 2026] [1:18:21 PM Pacific Daylight Time] isf, thanks :)
