FreeBSD 10 mention on El Reg

A few things such as
  1. Misinformation from many as usual.
  2. People talking without experience.
  3. The usual gang of idiots.
  4. Only a few informed individuals.
 
Shrug. Seems reasonably factual to me: let's face it, FreeBSD is not the ideal laptop operating system, and its market share IS fairly small. And no, 10.0 is not going to be a must have for someone already running something else.

I do really like FreeBSD and it is my network OS of choice, but that doesn't alter reality.
 
Someone commented:
Ooh you meant 'consumer' desktop. Snarf. No I don't think the FreeBSD project has even seriously had that use case in mind.

Which nails the part that many people don't get. The reason for running FreeBSD is not based on the number of other people using it. Funny how that seems to be a difficult concept.

People also don't seem to understand that not every operating system is meant to be a desktop, especially since security and convenience, by nature, don't seem to mix well.
