While waiting for replacement morherboard I did a complete swap from AMD to Intel 4770k and no issues. Linux kernel panicked and Windows BSOD.
What issues are people having?
My desktop runs like a charm. sound works, Internet and WiFi, works perfectly and this is all pretty recent hardware.

- tssva 4y agoI don't know which BSD you are using but the article was regarding FreeBSD. One of the issues as noted in the article is the poor support for WiFi. FreeBSD doesn't support 802.11ac and support for 802.11n varies from driver to driver. Personally, being limited to 802.11g or 802.11n would be a nonstarter.
- doublerabbit 4y agoFreeBSD13. Sure, it's an issue to you. But how is this a FreeBSD fault when it's up to the hardware vendor to release the binary blob? If the vendor provides the blob for Linux why should FreeBSD have to bend over to Linux blob? Why are the vendors not providing the blob for FreeBSD?
