The biggest problem with any BSD - at least for me - is that I can't watch Netflix. I like watching crappy TV shows while I code and that only really works on Linux. I canceled my trial of Disney+ just for that reason.
- mikece 7y agoI use a 40" 4K Samsung 'smart TV' as my monitor and it has support for Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, etc. That said, if internet streaming is that big of a deal why not use a bootable USB with Mint or Sling TV gizmo (I have a new one Sling TV sent me that I'll never use -- I'll ship it to you if you're in the US).
- OhSoHumble 7y agoThat's mighty kind of you. However, I'd just rather continue using Linux. It fits my use cases pretty well.
- dheera 7y agoI can understand BSD for servers, but what are some of the rationales for switching from Linux to BSD for a desktop?
- ben_bai 7y agoBasically the same reasons i had 20 years ago when I switched from Microsoft Windows to Linux. Except for the money reason, which in the era of Win98, Win2k wasn't that big of a problem.
- john37386 7y agoNative full encryption through zfs. That was my main reason. Zfs is well integrated in BSD. Something that will not happen soon in linux based on Linus latest comments that zfs has legal issue with linux
- unixhero 7y agoIt is there on Linux, and it has the encryption patches.
- tssva 7y agoDisney+ now works on Linux.
- OhSoHumble 7y agooh sweet
- ronsor 7y agoThe real problem is that you're subscribed to Netflix.
