You are a fan of one or more BSD os. Is that BSD (doesn't matter which one) your daily driver, your primary OS on your main computer?
-
@darth My main OS is FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE with XFCE4 (on a ThinkPad T480)
-
-
@darth Kubuntu with OpenZFS-native encrypted root-on-ZFS.
Previously, for around a decade, FreeBSD.

My main is Linux, but have an OpenBSD small laptop
-
@darth That's exactly right—I switched to #DragonFlyBSD as my main OS as soon as Linux started stinking up with systemd. Now I'm using #FreeBSD
-
I am in the process of making FreeBSD my primary OS. It’s replaced Debian on my raspberry pi and I have just set up some spare SATA SSDs to install to on my desktop (hoping to use ZFS1). I will be triple booting Debian, FreeBSD, and Windows (for the wife) until I feel more confident.

@darth I've been running OpenBSD on my laptop(s) since about 2012 or so. It's no big deal.

@darth Primary, in the sense of "desktop," is OpenBSD—it's been other things at various times, but that's what I keep coming back to. But for servers I generally use OmniOS or Debian (or Debian in an LX branded illumos zone).
And my work system is macOS because of my only two choices, better that than Windows 11.

Daily driver: FreeBSD
Kid's junker laptop: OpenBSD
Writerdeck Netbook: OpenBSD (though sometimes HaikuOS)
iBook G4: OpenBSD
Travel laptop: one each of OpenBSD & FreeBSD
VPS instances: a mix of FreeBSD & OpenBSD -
@darth Primary workstation is FreeBSD 15 with triple monitors, Wayland, Wayfire.

@darth it’s complicated.
(My main BSD laptop broke physically, but I got a replacement, but the fast VM I used for building is on a machine I don’t have any more, and I refactored myself into a corner and must fix MirBSD first so atm I daily-drive an X61 with systemd-free Debian but otherwise the same setup (X without DM or DE, evilwm, xterm, screen, sirc, pine, lynx, …) I have on the BSD machine, and intend to switch back once I have sufficient time+tuits to make that usable again and update to LibreSSL, but atm I cannot even set up a. new build VM easily enough, it’s all tricky.)
-
@darth I'm mostly using various releases of various BSDs in VMs for cross-platform software testing.
I do have plans to experiment with FreeBSD on a couple of machines in my homelab, and to run NetBSD on a few unusual old computers. If I ever get the opportunity, I'd like to try OpenBSD on a ThinkPad X230.
-
My Laptop is running OpenBSD since some years and I'm really happy with it.
-
@darth used to be FreeBSD until some 4 years ago and I used to be a contributor even. "graduated" to Linux with no regrets tbh
