> But what about all that lackluster driver support? WiFi drivers still on the 802.11g standard and all? Surely you can't be serious about it when Linux offers all that support out of the box, right? Wrong, actually. For starters, the drivers provided for the Pi's hardware are often half-assed proprietary blobs... I no longer think FreeBSD is really at fault if the driver support for the hardware is not helpful to begin with.
I installed FreeBSD on a raspberry pi a few years ago, and I don’t think I ever got WiFi working. No FreeBSD is not “at fault” for not being popular enough on the desktop to receive proprietary drivers, but as a user it sure is frustrating to struggle to get such a basic function working

I mean i can even play Elden Ring on FreeBSD (Wine) with a ps4 controller...for 4 minutes until my AMD-Card overheats...
