What is it like? Would you reckon it’s worth switching to?

I love it so far, I didn’t actually really have a big reason to switch from Arch which i was using, I’ve just been wanting to try something new, If you’ve been getting bored of your operating system i think FreeBSD is a great choice to try, although Linux is still great as well I just felt it wasn’t really for me

But thats a big change from bleeding edge to freedbsd, no? Feels like totally different use-cases. I never really tried freebsd, just openbsd some years ago on desktop.

What’s actually the difference between them? In both case you get started in the tty, follow the installation guide and all the rest are mostly the same right?

Sorry if I sound stupid, I’m a newbie.😅

How is your experience with bsd so far? Did you notice any drawbacks or improvements?

It’s only been a day for me so far but I’ve been enjoying it the only issues I’ve had were with my Wi-Fi and Audio although i think i have resolved those issues at least mostly. I’m hoping FreeBSD will be my new permanent home 😀

So far it is for me, although it depends on what you do on your computer. web browsing works well along with office suites such as LibreOffice, and I’ve heard gaming is also decent with programs like Suyimazu although I haven’t personally tried this as my PC is not really suited for gaming
