I hope I am not violating forum rules. I just want to shout from the rooftops how good this feels. In corporate life I was obliged to use win and ibm mainframe stuff. At night in my private life, I have used linux exclusively for about half a decade, since win10. But Mordor casting its baneful and withering gaze into linuxland caused me to look elsewhere.
After playing around with a FreeBSD virtual machine a while, I felt I was finally ready to put on my grown up pants and install it as my daily driver OS / home server. So I took the plunge yesterday and have done so.
Nothing in life worth having comes free, and that includes computers. I feel any learning curve is paid off in a manifestly more robust system. I had no idea how OSS would outshine ALSA / pulse, for a concrete example.
The forum rules ban kvetching that BSD ain't the other guys. I am here to celebrate that difference!
Thanks community!
