FreeBSD works fine on my laptops, m610 and studio 1555. The 1555 is a win 7 dual boot. I did have to replace the crappy wifi nic in it though to something better and something FBSD would recognize.

Do you mean a GNU userland or toolchain? FreeBSD definitely has GNU toolchain although the ones in base are being deprecated. Still available in ports though. And I'd take the BSD userland over the clusterF GNU's is any day.
- kunai 13y agoI meant both userland and toolchain. I like the BSD userland for its simplicity, but the GNU userland has a lot of features that BSD doesn't have. It's bigger, and some may say more bloated, but it works well and is fully-featured.

What I am worried about it lack of functionality. If BSD is lacking in that area, it should be easy to identify.
