Playstation 4 Runs a Modified FreeBSD 9
It has been revealed that the PS4's operating system is Orbis OS, which is a Sony modified FreeBSD 9.0. Sony has chosen to use FreeBSD over Linux, in part due to the more liberal licensing. It's a bit surprising to see FreeBSD being used when at the heart of the PS4 is an AMD 8-core APU with Radeon graphics. Because there isn't a Catalyst driver available for any BSD OS, Sony in cooperation with AMD must have developed their own graphics drivers for the Playstation 4.

imgurlelKatsumiSwagDaddyYolosplot9 Steam runs better on linux than on windows so I think it's OK to make the assumption that freebsd 9 is better for gaming than a modified version of Windows 8 for example.
I hate windows 8. The layout sucks
Not many people like the layout at all. Windows 8 is fine for touch screen computers in my opinion but if you don't have a touch screen computer windows 8 is out of the question
Yeah I had Win 8 but then ended up deleting it and then torrenting win 7
Windows 7 is so much better imo.
Of course it is. Windows 8 is too complicated.

I agree. Windows 7 is a much better operating system in my opinion

True, Windows 8 is something I really don't want, I'm sticking with Windows 7 :)

I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing?
I'm not really that much of a techy guy.
