A short story: I was a Windows guy. Driver writting Windows guy. Hated linux to my guts with its chaos. Switched to it on laptop every 2 years to figure out something vital is missing. Gradually, Windows (8) became so horrible, that I have switched to Linux, not that it was any better, but Windows became worse. Now I run FreeBSD on server and my personal laptop. I don't understand what is the point of this article, I had a problem with LTO5 LTFS on server, installed minimum debian into bhyve, did a PCI passtrough and shared the mountpoint. Works like a charm. I am not using FreeBSD to support all the hardware in the world but to have a nifty environment, that is stable. And it stays stable (was regularly upgraded from FreeBSD 8 to latest, hardware has changed twice, still running the same installation), while linux is starting to look more and more like furball on y2y basis (not talking about kernel, distributions are THE problem). --- I would like to challenge arch/gentoo users to try FreeBSD for a while. Just for fun, use vm. You might be surprised how complicated for no reason can linux distributions be. This is how I made a switch to it.
