Major Issues

[mintblow]

First of all, the colour choice for this document makes it very inaccessible to disabled people. Then there is a major lack of commercial distributions, including (among many) macOS, NextStep, iOS, iPadOS, Darwin, OpenDarwin, Minix, PureDarwin, tvOS, watchOS, Sony PlayStation 4 and later firmware, Blackberry QNX, Nintendo Switch firmware. Minix is also discontinued, and the Apple branch could be simplified, but it is very important to include it. There seems to be no activity past 2017, many distributions listed no longer exist in the form they did in 2017, so the data is now inaccurate. This is a "perfect" summary of issues and misconceptions about Berkeley Unix, and unlike the Linux edition, this is very unreliable.

Hello @mintblow and thanks for your patience,

the color choice for this document makes it very inaccessible to disabled people.

The color choice in v17.10 and prior is the same from the original developer, later I changed the grey tone background because also for me is hard to read too.

I don't have any problem in making an accessible edition for visually impaired people, what need to be changed?

QNX and MINIX are not derived from BSD, are from scratch and compatibility have been added later

Sony PlayStation 4 and later firmware

Sony used FreeBSD for the PS3 also CellOS

there is a major lack of commercial distributions, including (among many) macOS, NextStep, iOS, iPadOS, Darwin, OpenDarwin, Minix, PureDarwin, tvOS, watchOS, Sony PlayStation 4 and later firmware, Blackberry QNX, Nintendo Switch firmware.

This is a list of BSD distributions; not of commercial products.
I will not add proprietary and/or bundled with hardware only systems and firmwares.

About Darwin it is a bunch of sources with little real world use, as also seen by the failed (not for their fault) attempt to create an usable system built on it.

Rules for inclusion can be seen here:

• Timeline direction discussion #11
• Timeline direction #12

many distributions listed no longer exist in the form they did in 2017, so the data is now inaccurate.

summary of issues and misconceptions about Berkeley Unix

Personally I found a misconceptions considering macOS a BSD distribution in 2021

and unlike the Linux edition, this is very unreliable.

The Linux edition have several flaws and need a more or less deep revision in several parts, other people would not agree that is so reliable
