@justine while I run Void Linux on my main home/work machine, I have been using both FreeBSD and OpenBSD on my hobby machines. I like the BSD machines for the fact that what I am learning now will still be viable 20 years from now. They move slower and put security and stability ahead of the latest features. I'm seeing FreeBSD reaching out on a number of social media platforms, and I think that it is only a matter of time before BSD is more mainstream, which will be great for support :freebsd:
@nenos @justine
I am not sure if BSD will ever become more mainstream. I am tweaking with BSD for more than 20 years now, and during all the time, there were never signs that it could become "mainstream". Rather the opposite, it had been declared death more than once. Even though I don't believe it is dead, it's far away from becoming mainstream. One main reason for this is, that it is nearly impossible and hard work, to get a working daily driver that covers all needs of an avg. user.
