Introduce yourself, tell us who you are and why you chose FreeBSD

Who's new to FreeBSD? Did you migrate from another OS and what was your reason?
Windows and Linux user. Ages ago (around 1999-2000 maybe) I used FreeBSD on my desktop computer with twm for about a year, and now I was curious where it has grown. And for my absolute complete surprise, I managed to install it on my 11" macbook air and on my 13" macbook air within less than one hour each, having fully working Xfce desktop environment, working sound, wifi (with usb wifi dongle :) ), keyboard lighting, all specific buttons set up to manage them. Awesome! I deleted debian from both, now happily using a real Unix environment like in the good old days. A much more polished experience then on linux. Congratulations and thanks for the developers!

I migrated from gnu/linux , gnu/Guix around October 25. Am really find various flavours interesting and used them for around two decades. But Freebsd was my choice once I wanted to settle for my free open source project ‘relysam’ a core Reliability Engineering platform with AI/ML enhancements. Now my old horses ( machines) are happily running Freebsd and nomad BSD for development and testing. Learning never stops and FreeBSD is the best amongst the OS.
