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

[-] CalesDumb@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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 😀

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

[-] CalesDumb@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

Awesome job! I didn’t know XFCE could look so good!

Which dock is that? Plank?

Nice! FreeBSD is cool. Couldn't make it work for me as a regular thing due to poor/outdated WiFi and bluetooth, but if it suits your use case then it's a really solid option.

Cool stuff, what do you do on your system most of the time? I've messed around with open and freebsd, all hosting stuff though. It's been over 10 years since I tried running freebsd on the desktop, seem to remember sound being a big pita to deal with.
