I've got to wonder: I've used FreeBSD and OpenBSD in the distant past and I can't see a good reason for using a Unix for a desktop system. I know it works, but many Linux distros provide a much less painful experience, especially if you're coming from MacOS.
- bluGill 6y agoDepends on the distro. I get frustrated with Ubuntu all the time because sometimes I want the latest package now not in several months. FreeBSD updates packages fast when they change. I use Manjarno on one machine and it works well this way though.
- timbit42 6y agoThe author stated in the article he stayed away from Linux because most of them run systemd and since his servers run BSD he figured his desktop might as well too.
