So you came from Arch, and thought FreeBSD had quite a learning curve? Hmm maybe I should rethink FreeBSD and stick with Mint.

- Cieplak 10y agoFreeBSD has been a learning curve for me in terms of learning kernel development and things like kqueue and ZFS. I didn't find it difficult in terms of getting started, since it is a lot like Arch in terms of setting up things like X windows.
- boomboomsubban 10y agoNeither are that hard, FreeBSD has the additional challenge of overcoming Linuxisms. Just takes a little reading, and the FreeBSD Handbook is an excellent work.
- StreamBright 10y agoFreeBSD is actually a much cleaner operating system than other unix-like clones. I have used it for a decade but my work required me to use linux. Best parts already mentioned in this thread (pf, jails, etc.) I would add one thing to the list: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier(7) https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier(7)
