I dove head first into the BSDs (in a sense again after a very long break) in late 2025. I have OpenBSD 7.8 on an old MacBook Pro running 24x7 (playing with pf on it). My main desktop has 4 drives, one each with Windows 11, Linux (Arch), NixOS and yep, FreeBSD 15.0-p5. I probably spend the most time on FreeBSD 65%+ with the remainder shared somewhat equally between NixOS and Arch. I have Windows 11 around only as a backup (because $JOB and in case I bork my *BSD/Linux installations) so I can have something functional on the ready. I'm not ready yet to fully daily drive the BSDs, but everything I've thrown at it so far has been fine for my daily workflow. I hope to make the switch by the time FreeBSD 16 RELEASE rolls around.

Daily driver: macOS, BSD, Linux, or Windows? -
Today, we're introducing three things.Thank you for this cozy little corner of the web @stefano. Here to watch and learn as I recently stumbled back into FreeBSD (and also OpenBSD). Re-discovering the joy of tinkering and homelabbing with new things.
