What I love about FreeBSD is the documentation. I was able to skim through it and get a good understanding of how everything fits together, and how I can change it.
I'd love it if this project gains some momentum, it would be great to have an alternative to Ubuntu/Elementary OS.
In particular it would be nice to have an alternative for macOS users. Jumping to Linux from other OSes can be tough at first.

Yeah also this. I can't use my old MacBook 2005 anymore because the software I need to use won't run on older versions of MacOS, and I just can't install newer versions of MacOS without some kind of hack, which leaves the computer half-usable :(
- macksd 6y agoYes! FreeBSD has great documentation. One of the great things about the kernel+userspace unity. When I worked on HBase they literally used the FreeBSD style sheet for their docs, and it was similarly good documentation.
