I don't know anything about GhostBSD, TrueOS, or Ben Shapiro. But I know you have been advocating some strange use of C++, and since I recently started learning C++ I thought it worth butting in. I use various versions of openSuse. And I started digging into their various Qt GUI programming tools, which is C++. I tried the FreePascal Lazarus GUI, but it never seems to work. I've had Tom Swan's old book, "Gnu C++ for Linux," for many years. Also Herb Schildt's "Complete Reference for C++," and other C++ books and even a QT book or two. But Tom Swan also authored the "Mastering TurboPascal" book series that remains my best reference for FreePascal on Linux. Tom Swan is tedious, but with patience C++ now makes sense, and it is clearly a language intended to bring C into greater usefulness. So I look forward to reading some great software books this winter, and will try ignore all the liver spots on my old used hands. I suggest ignoring the U's devout commie leanings, too. As a Biophysical Chemist I learned many years ago they didn't do much science there. With all the commie screaming about climate change, good luck finding any solutions there. We have a world of science leaving us in the dust, and an army of homeless hungry refugees headed our way. Arguing with or about hateful commies is a certain waste of time. Even though I'm pre-newbie C++, I would like to get a better grasp of this language. Brian Wood wrote: > > Previously, I came across GhostBSD after having some > problems with TrueOS.
