Hey, I kinda had a greeting on the Introduce yourself area.
I had a problem. I have a computer I take to work to code on my breaks. (I'll explain what I am coding here in a bit.) There were a few issues with it. First, it has a 32g ssd. Secondly, it has a less than powerful cpu (dual core @ 1.6ghz). Lastly it has Windows 10 on it. Love it or hate it. What it left me with was about 20 gig free, and a lot of that got ate up by VS and other tools. leaving me with much less than 5g to play with. The other issue that Windows left me with; I was running at idle with 30% CPU usage.
I had known about FreeBSD for a while. I had heard someone talk about how some things were lighter, like the scheduler. The guy talked me into giving it a try. I had tried linux but they weren't liking to install for a various of issues. Either disk issues, or UFI issues.
I started with the stable version. I couldn't get wifi working, so I thought to try the beta3 of FreeBSD 12. With 11, I loved it a lot. It's so much better to have internet without using my phone as a tether.
I have this computer to try to write a game, and I don't wanna have to buy a computer that isn't a complete turd.
I cannot understate how much I've enjoyed using FreeBSD. This time I will actually learn how to use Vim
