For *BSD fans, I wish to understand something that truly bothers me.

@darth Fellow BSD enthusiast here. I've been running BSD on all my systems for over two decades now. My favorite BSD is #HardenedBSD but I'm quite naturally biased.

@darth Just switched from Void Linux back to FreeBSD on my daily driver.
Before that, I ran OpenBSD on my laptop for like 10 years plus.
Just not happy that dxvk in wine doesn't support my onboard intel graphics on FreeBSD 15.

@darth My main OS is FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE with XFCE4 (on a ThinkPad T480)
@Larvitz I read your blog the other day

@justine holy cow the amount of replies I got 🫣

@darth I keep linux for games, so my gaming computer is linux, but everything else is BSD unless there is a constraint disallowing BSD

@RussSharek @darth obsd 'twas my daily driver from '99 until Mac OS X was released (and even then I still run it on my appliances and servers and non-Apple hardware, 25+ years now). Best OS on the planet.

do your tablets support tilt and pressure on freebsd?

CC: @darth@silversword.online I don't know about tilt as I don't know if I've ever used it or have it, but yes on pressure. It uses same drivers as Linux.

@darth@silversword.online I've been daily driving OpenBSD on a desktop, various laptops, and a few headless sbc server-like devices for the past 3 years.

I may have to poke at that. Thanks.

@darth Maybe it‘s worth adding that you mean „Desktop“ (or Laptop) when you‘re talking about „daily driver“.
I might be weird, but my „daily driving“ in OS terms involves a lot more than my Desktop OS. There‘s my FreeBSD router and my home server doing a lot of the important parts enabling my „daily driving“.
That‘s just at home, not counting (my own hardware) in datacenters.

1/2@darth When all I needed was a terminal and a basic browser I also had FreeBSD running on my desktop since FreeBSD 1.1-RELEASE. As my needs grew, I started playing w/ MacOS 10.2 and made it my primary desktop around 10.3. I would prefer FreeBSD or any BSD, but that‘s not possible and probably won‘t for a while. Util that changes, I‘m on MacOS as it has enough BSD‘isms under the hood in terminal I when I can‘t run an actual BSD to do *nix stuff. That helps me stay (somewhat) somewhat sane.
