    I’ve been thinking about doing just this, but I haven’t seen any evidence that BSD is actually usable in real life yet.

    Linux is actually good today, it’s a viable alternative to the big corpos for virtually anybody, and the community is big enough to be sustainable. Also Steam has made Linux gaming a real thing.

    If I could build a little pc to try BSD out on I would, I’d love for the competition to be there… But even a raspberry pi is like $500 today. It’s insane. Fucking AI.

      Hi! I use FreeBSD as a daily driver.

      I browse the web, code, and game on it. Works great for me.

      My current wishlist is for FreeBSD to have a more robust process supervision system (Dinit I’m looking at you) and for pkg to include some kind of declarative way to build.

      It’s great, I love it, join devil Linux.
