My takeaway: You should definitely run BSD on a PC, but don't get fooled: - You may need to unlearn some Linux-isms - Your software may assume GNU instead

My takeaway: You should definitely run BSD on a PC, but don't get fooled: - You may need to unlearn some Linux-isms - Your software may assume GNU instead of POSIX - You will not get good GPU/WiFi driver support - You may need to relearn looking for answers - You will need to learn how your OS works In particular, I like how he phrased the difference in culture between Linux and BSD: While Linux is more noob-friendly, and BSD is known for "RTFM!", it is in part because very small communities cannot service the masses with tailored answers in every possible form (so we settle for well-maintained docs rather than highly searchable variations over a theme), and perhaps in part simply because of a culture difference where BSD users dedicate themselves to their platforms more than many Linux users (myself included), and answering questions from people who don't try to get a full picture, but just want to move on, creates an un-even playing ground. I don't know, I just liked how you can elevate the conversation about community dynamics beyond "BSD users are mean because 'RTFM!' contains a swear word!"
